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
   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 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.
