When containers are loaded and sealed by Shipper or his Agent, Carrier
will accept such shipments as, and B/Ls shall be claused, "Shipper Load,
Stow and Count," and shall be SUBJECT to the following provisions:
  
a. Carrier will NOT be responsible or liable, either directly or
   indirectly, for any damage resulting from the improper stowage,
   loading or mixing of articles in trailers/containers, nor for any
   discrepancy or shortage in the count thereof, nor for any concealed
   or hidden damage to the cargo.
  
b. All labor and materials, such as lashing, bulkheads, cross members,
   platforms, dunnage, pallets or other similar materials, used to block,
   brace or secure cargo in/on trailer/container for safe transportation
   MUST be supplied by and at the expense of the Shipper or his Agent.
   Carrier will NOT be responsible for, and rates and charges named in this
   Tariff do NOT include, the return or exchange of such materials after
   use unless otherwise specifically provided in individual TLIs.
   Materials used for securing, bracing, lashing, etc. (other than 
   normal packaging or pallets) shall NOT be included in the overall
   weight or measurements of the cargo for the purposes of calculating
   freight charges.
  
c. Shipper MUST furnish Carrier with a complete list of all cargo in each
   container, including a complete description of all articles in the
   container and the gross weight and overall cubic measurement of the
   cargo contents.  When Shipper fails to provide such a list, freight
   charges shall be calculated on the highest rated commodity in the
   container at either the applicable FCL rate when provided or the net
   weight of the container (e.g. gross weight less tare weight) for
   weight rated commodities or the total inside cubic capacity of the
   container for measurement rated commodities.  Each individual piece,
   package or unit in a Shipper sealed container loaded to full visible
   capacity need NOT be marked as required in Rule 2.9.
  
d. Carrier reserves the right to open, inspect and recalculate dimensions
   of cargo contents or to verify the contents of any container with
   respect to description, weight and/or measurement.  When Carrier opens
   a container such inspection will be indicated on the B/L and Shipping
   Documents.  Container will then be resealed with Carrier's seal.
   Where any error in description, weight or measurement is found, Shipper
   shall be rebilled for all freight and additional assessorial charges
   due.  Upon inspection of the container contents, if Carrier judges the
   packing or securing of cargo to be inadequate to protect cargo and
   container during normal ocean transportation, the Carrier shall either
   refuse to transport the shipment or shall repack and resecure the
   cargo in the container.  All repacking or resecuring expenses shall be
   for the account of the cargo.
  
e. Shippers placing locking and/or security devices on loaded containers
   MUST assume full responsibility for getting the proper "key" to the
   Consignee by the time the shipment is delivered.
  
f. When a container subject to "Shippers Load, Stow and Count" is
   delivered, the Consignee or his Agent MUST furnish Carrier with a
   clean receipt, prior to release of the container or its contents for
   delivery.
  
g. All cargo loaded in a single container MUST be destined to a single
   Consignee at 1 (one) port or point of destination.  Further,
   containers containing part lots destined to more than 1 (one) ultimate
   receiver MUST be consigned to a single Consignee.
  
h. Carrier will accept hazardous or dangerous cargo (See Rule 16) loaded
   in containers handled in "Shipper Load, Stow and Count" service ONLY
   when Shipper has obtained Carrier's prior approval, and ONLY when
   Shipper has compiled with all packing, labeling, marking and
   placarding regulations outlined in Rule 16 of this Tariff.
  
i. Gross weight of loaded containers CANNOT exceed highway weight
   limitations, unless Shipper, Consignee or their agent have obtained
   specific authorization from relevant governmental authorities and in
   NO event shall the gross weight of container and contents exceed the
   maximum weight capacity of the container.  Further without regard to
   intent, negligence or any other factor, Shipper, Consignee and their
   agents shall be and will remain jointly, severally and absolutely
   liable for any fine, penalty or other sanction imposed by any
   governmental authority on containers moving in "Shipper Load, Stow and
   Count" service which exceed lawful over-the-road weight limitations.
