A duly executed copy of the shipper's export declaration, as required by Japanese Customs, for each individual shipment accepted for transportation, must be delivered by the shipper to the carrier not later than 48 hours prior to the sailing of the vessel on which shipment or shipments are to be transported. Carrier will not issue bills of lading on any shipment until it has received copy or copies of necessary shipper's export declaration or declarations. In order to insure that commodities are truly and correctly described on the Bills of Lading and entitled to the tariff rate, the carrier shall obtain from the shipper, upon release of Bills of Lading, copies of shipper's commercial invoices as submitted to Customs. Commodity descriptions on Bills of Lading and shipper's commercial invoice must coin- cide.
