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: While cargo is in transport between POL and
POD, Carrier's liability shall be determined in accordance with the
clauses of the Carrier's regular B/L (See Rule 8). Carrier will NOT
accept, NOR be liable for, any liability greater than such limits.
b. Inland Service Liability: While cargo is in transport between U.S.
Points of Origin or Destination and a U.S. POL or POD as part of a
through movement, the terms and conditions of RAM International
Shipping'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. RAM International Shipping 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 any NRA or 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.
