 (APPLICABLE ONLY WHEN SPECIFIC REFERENCE IS MADE TO TRANSIT SERVICE
               DEFINITION FOR HOUSEHOLD GOODS)
    
When specific reference is made in a governed NSA, rates named
thereon/therein shall apply via a specific transportation service which
will be shown in connection with each rate.  A full description of
each transportation service offered is listed below:
    
a. When different rates applying on Household Goods, from the same
   ports/points to the same ports/points are published in a governed NSA
   and the application of each rate is based on different Transit Service
   level, selection of Transit Service and the related rate level will
   be strictly at the Shipper's option.  If Shipper desires a specific
   Transit Service he MUST specify Transit Service desired at the time
   cargo is booked with the Carrier, either orally or in writing, unless
   such instructions have been given previously.  If no written
   instructions are forwarded by the Shipper to the Carrier, Carrier's
   booking records shall govern assignment of Transit Service level and
   application of the rate.
    
b. Shipper's selection of a Transit Service level option 
   shall be considered paramount and Carrier will NOT alter
   Shipper's instructions or the Transit Service/rate level
   selected, EXCEPT in the following instances:
   
  1. If Carrier forwards a shipment via a different Transit Service in
     error, Shipper shall be assessed freight charges based on the
     Transit Service level Shipper actually selected or the freight
     charges applicable to the Transit Service actually provided,
     whichever is lower.  However, Carrier shall be free to provide a
     higher Transit Service Level than the one Shipper requested for
     Carrier's convenience; in such cases Shipper shall be assessed the
     rate applicable for the Transit Service Level requested.
    
  2. If due to an error or omission on Shipper's part, 
     cargo is held at Carrier's Terminal or Container Yard 
     and is not forwarded on the first available sailing 
     for the Transit Service selected, Carrier will give 
     the Shipper the option of waiting until the next 
     sailing for the Transit Service selected or of 
     changing the Transit Service status of the shipment.
     If Shipper decides to change the Transit Service 
     selected, freight charges shall be assessed on the 
     basis of the Transit Service via which the shipment 
     actually moves.  In either case all charges for 
     storage, container shifting or reloading or shipment 
     return, incurred as a result of Shipper's error or 
     ommission shall be for the account of the Shipper.
   
  3. DEFINITION OF TRANSIT SERVICE LEVELS:
      Except as otherwise provided in a Transit Service level specified
      herein, when a shipment is assigned one of the Transit Services
      named below under the terms and conditions of this Rule, Carrier
      shall not be obligated to transport cargo in any particular
      container or type of container or equipment (except as specified
      in individual NSA, or in conformity with Rule 16), or via any
      particular vessel, ocean, water, rail, motor or air carrier, or
      in time for any particular market or otherwise than with
      reasonable dispatch utilizing an underlying VOCCs' fixed sailing
      schedule(s).  When Carrier has been tendered two or more shipments
      assigned to a different Transit Transit Service as named below,
      that are to be loaded aboard the same vessel for off-loading at
      the same POD, Carrier will tender such shipments to the underlying
      VOCC for loading based on the priority level specified for each
      Transit Service.  For instance if two shipments are to loaded
      aboard the same vessel at the POL and one is assigned a Transit
      Service Level/Priority A/1 and another one is assigned a Transit
      Service Level/Priority D/4, Carrier will insure that the shipment

      Level D/4.
