| Filing Codes | IC |
When, at time of booking, a Shipper or his Agent requests that a
particular size transporting container or equipment be made available
for Shipper to load, and due to operational exigencies, Carrier is
unable to provide or obtain such size container or equipment, Carrier
at its option and convenience may, when available, furnish Shipper
with a different container or equipment size than the one requested
for Shipper's use, SBJ to the following provisions and restrictions.
a. Ocean freight and charges will be calculated and assessed based
on the size of the container or equipment requested and booked by
the Shipper, PROVIDED, the Shipper does NOT load more cargo into
or onto the container or equipment actually furnished than could
have been loaded within or on the container or equipment requested.
b. When cargo is tendered to the Carrier, Shipper must furnish a
complete packing list and/or a Shipper completed B/L showing the
actual weight and cubic measurements of all cargo loaded into or
onto the container or equipment furnished to the Shipper.
c. Carrier reserves the right to weigh, measure and/or inspect the
cargo loaded into or onto the container or equipment prior to the
commencement of transportation service. If Shipper or his Agent
loads a quantity of cargo in excess of the amount that can be
loaded into or onto the originally requested container or equipment
size, ocean freight and changes will be assessed based on the rates
published for the size of the container or equipment actually
furnished by the Carrier, instead of the size of the container or
equipment requested.
d. Carrier's B/L and/or Invoice will be claused substantially as
follows to insure the proper application of an NRA or Tariff rate
provision per this Rule:

size of equipment originally requested) ORIGINALLY REQUESTED"
