Freight charges, assessorial charges, surcharges or other charges named in
this Tariff, or in any NRA or on any Web Rate Page in a Tariff governed by
this Tariff, including advanced charges, may be prepaid or collect (see
NOTE 1) at origin or destination, SBJ to the provisions named herein.
However, regardless of whether B/L payment status is prepaid or collect,
the Shipper, his duly authorized Freight Forwarder, Broker, the Consignee
and the Beneficial Cargo Owner shall be, and will remain, jointly and
severally liable for all unpaid charges and freight, including but not
limited to, any sums advanced or disbursed by the Carrier for the account
of the cargo.  Further any payment of freight or other charges to a freight
forwarder, broker or any other party other than directly to Carrier shall
be not deemed payment to the Carrier, unless and until such payment has
been advanced to Carrier.
   
NOTE 1: Shipments of the following commodities MUST be PREPAID in all
 instances:  Household Goods and Personal Effects.
    
a. All Freight and additional Charges provided in this Tariff, or in any
   NRA, or on a Web Rate Page in a Rate Tariff governed by this Tariff,
   are due and considered earned upon receipt of the cargo by the
   originating Carrier, or his agent, and shall be paid to the Carrier
   without discount or deduction, whether the Ship and/or Cargo is lost
   or not lost, transportation is interrupted or abandoned, whether the
   Cargo is damaged or ruined, or whether packages or Containers are
   delivered empty or partly empty at destination.
    
b. Except as otherwise specifically indicated, Rates and Charges named in
   this Tariff, or in any NRA, or on any Web Rate Page in a Rate Tariff
   governed by this Tariff are quoted in U.S. Currency, and have been
   determined with due consideration to the relationship of U.S. Currency
   to any other currencies involved.  In the event of any material
   deterioration in the exchange value of U.S. Currency, the Carrier
   reserves the right, upon publication in this Tariff or any governed Rate
   Tariff, to adjust the charges named in this Tariff, in an NRA or on a
   Web Rate Page in a Tariff governed by this Tariff, to change the rates
   named therein to remove any adverse effect in conformity with the U.S.
   Shipping Act of 1984, as amended, and SBJ to the regulations of the
   Federal Maritime Commission issued pursuant thereto.  Rates named in
    NRAs SBJ hereto may will be SBJ to this Rule only in compliance with
   FMC regulations governing NRAs.
   
c. When Freight and other Charges named in this Tariff, or in an NRA, or
   on a Web Rate Page in a Rate Tariff governed by this Tariff, are paid
   in foreign countries, Carrier will accept payment in a foreign
   currency provided it is freely convertible.  When payment is effected
   in other than U.S. Currency, currency conversion shall be calculated
   on the basis of the highest official bank selling rate of exchange as
   quoted on the official exchange for the currency involved on the day
   shipment is tendered to the originating Carrier.
    
d. The payment status of any B/L may NOT be changed or altered once
   transportation service of Cargo has commenced (e.g. "prepaid"
   shipments cannot be changed to "collect" shipments and likewise
   "collect" shipments cannot be changed to "prepaid" shipments)
   without the express approval of the Carrier.
    
e. Carrier or its duly authorized Agent, will, upon request of the
   Shipper, Freight Forwarder, Consignee or Beneficial Cargo Owner,
   extend credit to the party listed in the B/L as responsible for the
   payment of Freight and Charges, in amounts not to exceed Freight,
   Assessorials, Terminal and/or Advanced Charges.  The credit period
   shall be 30 (thirty) days from the date of delivery of Cargo in the
   case of collect shipments or from the date Cargo is tendered to
   originating Carrier in the case of prepaid shipments.
   
   If Freight or other Charges are NOT paid within the credit period
   specified herein, the Carrier will cancel the delinquent party's
   credit privileges after which time ALL Freight and Assessorial
   Charges applying on shipments moving for the account of such party
   MUST be paid in cash, cashier's check or money order at the time, or
   prior to the time, Cargo is tendered to originating Carrier for
   transportation.
    
   If any party responsible for the payment of charges fails or refuses
   to pay lawful Freight and/or other Charges due as specified above,
   the Carrier shall be entitled to recover all collection costs
   incurred, including but not limited to, reasonable collection agency
   fees, attorneys' fees and court costs.
