   "measurement" or the letter "M" appears next to an
   article or commodity, measurement rates are applicable

   ocean carriage of cargo.  Tolls, Wharfage, Cost of

   Origin or Destination Terminal Charges) but not including
   Customs clearance assessments or Forwarding Charges
   except as provided.
   Alternatively, at shipper's request, carrier will
   arrange for inland transportation as shipper's agent.
   All associated costs will be for the account of the
   cargo. Overland carriers will be utilized on an
   availability of service basis and not restricted to any
   preferred Carriers, except as Ocean Carrier deems
   necessary to guarantee safe and efficient movement of
   said cargo. Carrier shall not be obligated to transport
   the goods in any particular type of container or by any
   portion of the transportation of the goods shall be
   within the sole discretion of the Ocean Carrier.

   the Bill of Lading description with the validated
   United States Import/Export Declaration.  Shipper
   amendments in the description of the goods will only
   be accepted if validated by United States Customs.

   Trade names are not acceptable commodity descriptions
   and shippers are required to declare their commodity by
   its generally accepted generic or common name.

6. Unless otherwise specified, when the rates in this
   Tariff are based on the value of the commodity, such
   commodity value will be the F.O.B. or F.A.S. value at
   the port of loading as indicated on the Commercial
   Invoice, the Custom Entry, the Import/Export Declaration
   or the Shipper's Certificate of Origin. The F.O.B. value
   and the F.A.S. value include all expenses up to delivery
   at the Loading Port.

   on specifically lower values or on an ad valorem basis,
   are subject to Bill of Lading limit of value.

    Tariff apply only to the specific commodity named and
    cannot be appled to analogous articles. Unless a
    commodity is specifically provided for, the Cargo,
    N.O.S., Dangerous/Hazardous Cargo, N.O.S., Refrigerated
    Cargo, N.O.S. rate will apply (for definition of
    Dangerous/Hazaedous Cargo, N.O.S., See Rule 16).

9.  Wherever rates are provided for articles named herein,
    the same rate will also be applicable on parts of such
    articles where so described in the ocean bill of
    lading, except where specific rates are provided for
    such parts.

10. FORCE MAJEURE CLAUSE: "Without prejudice to any rights
    or privileges of the Carrier's under covering Bills of
    Lading, dock receipts, or booking contracts or under
    applicable provisions of law, in the event of war,
    hostilities, warlike operations, embargoes, blockades,
    port congestion, strikes or labor disturbances,
    regulations of any gonvernmental authority pertaining
    thereto or any other official interferences with
    commercial intercourse arising from the above conditions
    and affecting the Carrier's operations, the Carrier
    reserves the right to cancel any outstanding booking or
    contract in conformity with Federal Maritime Commission
    Regulations."

11. When a commodity can properly be carried under more
    than one tariff item, but which by its nature is
    clearly influenced by its end use, the freight shall
    be assessed based on the rate of the end use commodity
    eg:

    Rubber Gloves, Cotton Gloves, etc. would all be rated
    under "Gloves, NOS" rather than Rubber Goods, Textiles,
    etc.

    The above does not apply in cases where there is a
    specific tariff rate for the commodity in question
    eg: If the tariff contains a rate for Rubber Gloves,
    than this rate will apply - and NOT the Gloves, NOS
    rate.
12. When two or more rates may be applicable to a given
    shipment and one rate is more specific than the others,
    the specific rate shall apply.

    One rate is more specific than another when it
    describes the commodity being shipped more explicitly,
    ie: Canned Pineapple is more specific than Canned
    Fruit or Canned Goods, NOS.

    A rate to a specific destination is more specific than
    a rate to a geographic range or zone, ie: A rate to
    New York, NY is more specific than rate to East
    Coast Ports.

13. Any Tollage, Wharfage, Handling and/or other charges
    assessed against the cargo at Ports of
    Loading/Discharge will be for the account of the cargo.
    Any Tollage, Wharfage, Handling and/or Charges at Port
    of Loading in connection with storage, handling and
    receipt of cargo before loading on the vessel shall be
    for the account of the cargo.

    cargo by Governmental Authorities will be for the
    account of the cargo.
