For shipments of commodities, as specifically provided for in this rule, when delivered to the Carrier in unitized loads acceptable to the Carrier for stowage, safe handling and suitable for mechanical handling, the weight and measurement of the Pallet and Skid shall be excluded when calculating freight cargoes, but such exclusion shall not exceed ten percent (10%) of the total weight or measure- ment of the cargo so palletized. Bill of Lading will be issued to acknowledge receipt of a given number of unitized loads said to contain a given number of packages, and shall be claused: "Shipper's Load and Count, cargo covered by this Bill of Lading has been Unitized by the Shipper and Shipper has arranged for the Consignee and/or Receiver to take delivery of this shipment on the same pallets received from the Shipper by the Carrier." A $3.00 reduction per R/T is authorized for palletized load shipments on shipper's pallet received at C.F.S. at origin. But no deduction shall be granted for containerized cargo holding palletized loads received at C.Y. at origin. Conditions of Carriage: 1. Each palletized load shall consist of one commodity under one tariff item at one rate having one mark, moving from one shipper to one consignee. 2. Each palletized load shall be a minimum of 0.54 Kilo Ton (1,200 lbs.) in weight or 1 Cubic Meter (35 Cft.) and a maximum of 2.03 Kilo Tons (4,480 lbs.) in weight. 3. In case both palletized & non-palletized cargo are mixed in one consignment, no deduction shall be granted for the portion of non-palletized cargo.
