Rates and charges named in a governed NSA and this Tariff do NOT
include marine or any insurance maintained for the benefit of the
cargo, NOR do they include any Consular or Customs Duties, Fees or
Clearance Charges.
a. Carrier will NOT provide any insurance or insurance coverage for cargo
value in excess of Carrier's stated liablity (See Rules 8 and 12). If
Shipper, Consignee or Cargo Owner wishes to obtain insurance coverage,
Carrier will make every effort to help such party to identify an
appropriate insurance carrier or agent who will be able to cover
cargo during transit from origin to destination. However, Carrier
will not be liable for, nor assume any risk for obtaining or
maintaining cargo insurance.
b. The Shipper and Consignee shall be and will remain severally and
jointly liable for all Customs duties or fees and/or Customs
clearance charges assessed upon arrival of cargo at destination.
Cargo which cannot be cleared through Customs for any reason
whatsoever will be stored and/or warehoused by Carrier at the risk and
expense of the cargo, returned to origin upon Shipper's instructions,
OR, turned over to Customs authorities without any further
responsibility or liability on the part of Carrier.
c. Any damage, deterioration or loss of cargo, and any fine imposed by
Customs or other legal authorities at destination, as the result of
Shipper's, Consignee's or their authorized agent's failure to comply
with Customs or Consular regulations, or for any errors or omissions
in Shipper supplied documentation or shipping information/instructions,
shall be for the account of the cargo.
