Filing Codes IC

All shipments moving pursuant to and rated under the rules, regulations,
rates and charges named in this Tariff are predicated on Carrier's
liability NOT exceeding the limits specified in the Carrier's regular B/L
(see Rule 8) and/or the provisions named herein.
  
a. Overocean Service Liability:  When cargo is in transport between POL
   and POD, Carrier's liability shall be determined in accordance with the
   clauses of the Carrier's applicable B/L (See Rule 8).  If the Shipper
   desires Carrier to accept a higher liability limit than that specified
   in its B/L, Shipper MUST so stipulate such desire to Carrier, in
   writing, prior to tender of cargo to Carrier at origin.  Such
   additional liability will ONLY be assumed by the Carrier upon the
   payment of an additional charge of 2% (two percent) of the declared
   valuation.  This Ad Valorem charge shall be in ADDITION to all other
   otherwise applicable rates and charges assessed under this Tariff.
  
b. Inland Service Liability: While cargo is in transport between U.S.
   Points of Origin or Destination and U.S. POL or POD as part of a
   through movement, the terms, conditions and liability of the underlying
   inland Carrier's Tariff or Contract of Carriage will apply. Sola
   Transport Agency, Inc.'s liability will be limited to the same extent,
   in the same amounts and by the same conditions as published and
   enforced by the underlying inland U.S. Domestic Carrier.  Sola
   Transport Agency, Inc. will NOT accept, NOR be liable for, any
   liability greater than the such limits.
  
c. Neither any oral declaration, nor any statement of value for
   governmental or Customs purposes, nor presentation of invoices for use
   in foreign Customs, nor collection of C.O.D. amounts or other purposes,
   nor the declaration of value for insurance, nor instructions to the
   Carrier to insure, shall be deemed a "declaration of value" as provided
   in paragraphs a. and b. above which would increase Carrier's stipulated
   liability, nor shall any such offering supplement or amend in any way
   the liability of the Carrier for the cargo at the time of shipment, on
   which charges for transportation services are based.
  
d. Regardless of the value declared by the Shipper, Carrier's liability
   will NOT exceed the actual value of the cargo or the actual damages
   sustained when less.
  
e. Where rates or charges are specified in this Tariff as applying on an
   Ad Valorem Basis, the value used in assessing freight charges shall be
   the invoice value shown on the Shipping Documents and B/L.
