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 in the individual NRA or on the individual Web Rate
Page in a Rate Tariff governed by this Tariff, 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.
d. AES CORRECTIONS: If for any reason, other than Carrier's error or
omission, any correction and/or amendment is made to the data that
was already transmitted thru the U.S. Customs' EEI/AES System, Carrier
will assess an AES CORRECTION/AMENDMENT FEE equal to the amount in
the NRA or on the Web Rate Page making reference hereto, which
charge shall be in addition to all other applicable charges.
