All shipments moving pursuant to and rated under the rules, regulations, rates and charges named in this Tariff or in NRAs or Rate Tariffs governed by this Tariff, are predicated on Carrier's liability NOT exceeding the limits specified in the Carrier's regular B/L (see Rule 8) and/or the provisions named herein. a. Overocean Service Liability: When cargo is in transport between POL and POD, Carrier's liability shall be determined in accordance with the clauses of the Carrier's applicable B/L (See Rule 8). If the Shipper desires Carrier to accept a higher liability limit than that specified in its B/L, Shipper MUST so stipulate such desire to Carrier, in writing, prior to tender of cargo to Carrier at origin. Such additional liability will ONLY be assumed by the Carrier upon the payment of an additional charge of 6% (six percent) of the declared valuation in excess of the Bill of Lading limit specified above. This Ad Valorem charge shall be in ADDITION to all other otherwise applicable rates and charges assessed under this Tariff Section. b. Inland Service Liability: While cargo is in transport between U.S. Points of Origin or Destination and U.S. POL or POD as part of a through movement, the terms and conditions of Nautica Cargo Services Inc. d/b/a Navinsa Line's regular B/L, specifying that the liability for the cargo during such portion of the through transportation rests with the underlying inland Carrier, applies. Nautica Cargo Services Inc. d/b/a Navinsa Line will NOT accept, NOR be liable for, any liability greater than the such limits. c. Neither any oral declaration, nor any statement of value for governmental or Customs purposes, nor presentation of invoices for use in foreign Customs, nor collection of C.O.D. amounts or other purposes, nor the declaration of value for insurance, nor instructions to the Carrier to insure, shall be deemed a "declaration of value" as provided in paragraphs a. and b. above which would increase Carrier's stipulated liability, nor shall any such offering supplement or amend in any way the liability of the Carrier for the cargo at the time of shipment, on which charges for transportation services are based. d. Regardless of the value declared by the Shipper, Carrier's liability will NOT exceed the actual value of the cargo or the actual damages sustained when less. e. Where rates or charges are specified in this Tariff, or in Rate Tariffs governed by this Tariff, as applying on an Ad Valorem Basis, the value used in assessing freight charges shall be the invoice value shown on the Shipping Documents and B/L.
