A) The carrier reserves the right to open, inspect, and to
   have a Sworn Measurer verify the contents of a container
   with respect to description, weight and/or measurement,
   so indicated on the Bill of Lading, and reseal it with
   carrier's seal.
    
B) A shipper of any shipment whose cargo upon inspection is
   found by the Sworn Measurer not to have been correctly
   described, weighed and/or measured shall be rebilled for
   any Freight due, based upon the Sworn Measurer's
   Certificate.  If the shipper fails to pay the additional
   freight due within thirty (30) days after receipt of the
   notice of such rebilling issued by the carrier, he will
   be required at his expense to submit to the carrier a
   Sworn Measurer's Certificate covering each and every
   shipment which he makes from that date on, until he has
   paid the additional freight due.
    
C) If the additional freight due exceeds five (5%) percent
   of the correct freight based upon the Sworn Measurer's
   Certificate, the shipper, in addition to the requirements
   of Paragraph (B) of this Rule, will be required at his
   expense to submit to the carrier a Sworn Measurer's
   Certificate covering each and every shipment which he
   makes during the six (6) month period following receipt
   of the notice of such discrepancy issued by the carrier.
    
D) If subsequent to a shipment on which the shipper received
   the notice of discrepancy specified in Paragraph (C) of
   this Rule that shipper makes a further shipment or ship-
   ments which upon inspection are found by the Sworn
   Measurer to involve discrepancies exceeding five (5%)
   percent of the correct freight, such shipper shall be
   subject to the requirements of Paragraph (C) of the Rule
   on the basis of an additional six (6) month period for
   each such shipment, such additional six (6) month periods
   to run consecutively.
    
E) For the purpose of this Rule the term "Sworn Measurer"
   shall extend only to those sworn measurers which have
   been duly appointed as such by this carrier.(See Rule 28
   under Definition of Technical Terms)
    
F) The carrier shall not release the originals or copies of
   any Bills of Lading to any shipper or his agents until
   the Sworn Measurer's Certificates required under Para-
   graphs (B), (C), and (D) of this Rule have been received
   by the carrier from the shipper or his agents.
    
When cargo in containers is required to undergo inspection
by U.S. Customs, Agriculture, Food and Drug, or other such
duly authorized government agencies, such inspections shall
be at the risk and expense of the cargo, and all expenses
paid by or billed through the carrier for these inspections
shall be charged to the cargo, including the transporting of
the container from CY to CFS if required, stripping and
reloading the cargo from and to the container, and returning
the container from CFS to CY if required.
