a. In order to permit Carrier to minimize the cost of documentation
   preparation and filing, Shipper, his Agent and/or Forwarder must
   furnish the Carrier all shipment information specified in Rule
   2.8.  Additionally when a Shipper of a U.S. Export Shipment files
   the required Shipper's Export Declaration using the Electronic
   Export Information (EEI) service of the U.S. Customs' Service
   AES - Automated Export System, the Shipper must provide Carrier
   the EEI/AES unique shipment identifier along with the appropriate
   clause, or other legitimate SED exemption clause, prior to
   commencement of transportation service.
    
b. If Shipper, his Agent and/or Forwarder does NOT furnish proof of
   EEI/AES filing as specified in paragraph a. above, Carrier will submit
   a required EEI electronically through the AES in accordance with
   all applicable U.S. Customs' regulations.  When Carrier files an
   EEI electronically through AES, Carrier will assess the AES filing
   charge named on the Web Rate Page making reference hereto, which
   charge shall be in addition to all other applicable charges.
     
c. The Shipper, his Agent and/or Forwarder shall be and will remain
   jointly and severally liable for, and shall indemnify and hold the
   Carrier harmless from, any loss, damage, delay, expense or
   liability incurred by, or levied upon, the Carrier or the Cargo by
   reason of non-compliance with U.S. Customs or other Export
   Regulations which result from: the late presentation of, or false,
   inaccurate, incomplete or erroneous data contained in, the
   Shipper's Export Declaration.  All such fines, penalties or levies
   incurred by the Carrier shall in, all cases, be immediately
   reimbursed by the Shipper.

   omission, any correction and/or amendment must be made to the data
   that was already transmitted thru the U.S. Customs' EEI/AES System,

   amount specified in paragraph b. above, which charge shall be in
   addition to all other applicable charges.
