Case No 009171

a. Except as otherwise specifically provided in the Rules
   of this Tariff or in individual TLIs, rates named in
   this Tariff applying from, to or through the U.S. or
   foreign Ports named in Rule 1 do NOT include lighterage,
   terminal handling, wharfage, taxes, duties, dues,
   customs charges or any other assessorial charges or
   assessments which have been established by custom of the
   Port, by Port Operators or Authorities or by national
   Customs Services (Except as otherwise provided in Rule 1
   Subrule 2 and 4).  All such assessorial charges assessed
   against the cargo will be for the account of the Cargo,
   even if the Carrier is responsible for the collection
   thereof.
     
b. Carrier is NOT obligated to transport cargo in any
   particular type of equipment (except as specified in
   individual TLIs of this Tariff, or in conformity with
   Rule 16), or via any particular vessel, ocean, water,
   rail, motor or air carrier, or in time for any
   particular market or otherwise than with reasonable
   dispatch and due diligence.  Selection of any underlying
   or inland carrier to be used for any portion of the
   through transportation of cargo shall be at the sole
   discretion of the Carrier.
     
c. Carrier reserves the right to effect whatever splitting
   or consolidation of cargo it deems most advantageous in
   order to make the most efficient use of its equipment.
   Further Carrier expressly reserves the right, at its
   sole discretion, for any reason whatsoever and without
   notice, to transship cargo from 1 (one) vessel to
   another and/or to substitute 1 (one) mode of
   transportation for another at any point in, or for any
   portion of, the through transportation service provided
   by the Carrier.  Any such transfer, transshipment,
   movement or substitution of service shall be deemed to
   be within the contract of affreightment and shall NOT be
   considered a deviation therefrom.
     
d. Carrier reserves the right to substitute rail or motor
   carrier equipment for ocean carrier equipment during all
   or any part of the inland portion of a through
   intermodal transportation service provided under this
   Tariff.  Except as otherwise provided in individual TLIs
   (and then ONLY at Shipper's option) substitution of
   equipment will NOT affect the rates or charges assessed
   for transportation service, NOR shall it affect the
   Carrier's liability or responsibilities to the Shipper
   or Consignee.  Transfer, loading or other charges
   incurred for such substituted equipment service shall
   NOT be assessed against either the cargo, the Shipper or
   the Consignee, but shall be paid by the Carrier.
     
e. Except when advertising matter and premiums are shipped
   in the same package with the commodity it advertises,
   any package containing more than 1 (one) commodity will
   be rated on the basis of the highest rated article in
   the package.
     
f.Rates named in this Tariff apply ONLY to the specific
  commodity(s) named and CANNOT be applied to analogous
  commodities.  Further, unless a rate specifically names
  a particular commodity, the Generic, N.O.S. or Cargo,
  N.O.S. rate will apply.
     
g. The rates named in each specific TLI (Rate Item) of this
   Tariff apply on straight or mixed shipments of the
   commodities named therein unless otherwise specifically
   restricted.  When mixed shipments contain commodities
   subject to rates named in more than 1 (one) TLI, the
   separate rate applicable for each commodity will be
   assessed, subject to the highest minimum quantity
   provided for any commodity in the shipment.
     
h. Whenever a rate is provided for a specific commodity,
   the same rate will also apply on parts of such commodity
   where so described in the B/L, EXCEPT and unless a
   specific rate is provided for such parts.
