6. CARRIER   s RESPONSIBILITY 
 
(1) CLAUSE PARAMOUNT
  (A) Subject to clause 13 below, this Bill of Lading insofar as it
      relates to sea carriage by any vessel whether named herein or not
      shall have effect subject to the Hague Rules or any legislation
      making such Rules or the Hague-Visby rules compulsorily applicable
      (such as COGSA or COGWA) to this Bill of Lading and the provisions
      of The Hague Rules or applicable legislation shall be deemed
      incorporated herein.  The Hague Rules (or COGSA or COGWA if this
      Bill of Lading is subject to U.S. of Canadian law respectively)
      shall apply to the carriage of Goods by inland waterways and
      reference to carriage by sea in such Rules or legislation shall be
      deemed to include reference to inland waterways.  If and to the
      extent that the provisions of the Harter Act of the United States of 
      America 1893 would otherwise be compulsorily applicable to regulate
      Carrier   s responsibility for the Goods during any period prior to
      loading on or after discharge from the vessel the Carrier   s
      responsibility shall instead be determined by the provisions of 6
      (3) below, but if such provisions are found to be invalid such
      responsibility shall be subject to COGSA.       
  (B) The Carrier shall be entitled to (and nothing in this Bill of Lading
      shall operate to deprive or imit such entitlement) the full benefit
      of, and rights to, all limitations of and exclusions from liability
      and all rights conferred or authorized by any applicable law,
      statute or regulation of any country (including, but not limited to
      where applicable any provisions of sections 4281 to 4287, inclusive
      of the Revised Statutes of the United states of America and
      amendments thereto and where applicable any provisions of the laws
      of the United States of America)  and without prejudice to the
      generality of the foregoing also any law, statute or regulation
      available to the Owner of the vessel(s) on which the Goods are
      carried. 
 
(2) PORT TO PORT SHIPMENT The responsibility of the Carrier is limited to
    that part of the Carriage from and during loading onto the vessel up
    to and during discharge from the vessel and the Carrier shall not be
    liable for any loss or damage whatsoever in respect of the Goods or
    for any other matter arising during any other part of the Carriage
    even though Charges for the whole Carriage have been charged by the
    Carrier.  The Merchant constitutes the Carrier as agent to enter into
    contracts on behalf of the Merchant with others for transport,
    storage, handling or any other services in respect of the Goods prior
    to loading and subsequent to discharge of the Goods from the vessel
    without responsibility for any act or omission whatsoever on the part
    of the Carrier of others and the Carrier may as such agent enter into
    contracts with others on any terms whatsoever including terms less
    favorable than the terms of this Bill of Lading.  
 
(3) COMBINED TRANSPORT Save as is otherwise provided in this Bill of
    Lading, the Carrier shall be liable for  loss of or damage to the
    Goods occurring from the time that the Goods are taken into his charge
    until the time of delivery to the extent set out below.
  (A) Where the stage of Carriage where the loss or damage occurred cannot
      be provided:        
    (i) The carrier shall be entitled to rely upon all exclusions from
        liability under the Rules or legislation that would have been 
        applied under 6 (1)(A) above had the loss or damage occurred at
        sea or, if there was no carriage by sea, under the Hague Rules (or
        COGSA or COGWA, if this Bill of Lading is subject to U.S. or
        Canadian law respectively).        
   (ii) Where under (i) above, the Carrier is not liable in respect of 
        some of the factors causing the loss or damage, he shall only be
        liable to the extent that those factors for which he is liable
        have contributed to the loss or  damage.  
  (iii) Subject to 6(4)(C )below, where the Hague Rules or any legislation
        applying such Rules or the Hague-Visby Rules (such as COGSA or
        COGWA) is not compulsorily applicable, the Carrier   s liability
        shall not exceed US$500 per package or shipping unit or US$2.00
        per kilo of the gross weight of the Goods that was lost, damaged
        or in respect of which the claim arises or the value of such
        Goods, whichever is the less.        
   (iv) the value of the Goods shall be determinedaccording to the 
        commodity exchange price at the place and time of delivery to the 
        Merchant or at the place and time when they should have been 
        delivered or if there is no such price according to the current
        market price by reference to the normal value of Goods of the same
        kind and quality, at such place and time.
  (B) Where the stage of Carriage where the loss or damage occurred can be 
      proved:
    (i) the liability of the Carrier shall be determined by the
        provisions contained in any international convention or national
       law of the country which provisions:
      (a) cannot be departed from private contract to the detriment of
          the Merchant, and
      (b) would have applied if the Merchant had made a separate and
          direct contract with the Carrier in respect of the particular
          stage of Carriage where the loss or damage occurred, and had
          received as evidence thereof any particular document which must
          be used in order to make such international convention or
          national law applicable:
   (ii) with respect to the transportation in the United States of
        America or in Canada to the Port of Loading or from the Port of
        Discharge, the responsibility of the Carrier shall be to produce
        transportation by carriers (one or more) and such transportation
        shall be subject to the inland carrier   s contract of carriage and
        tariffs and any law compulsorily applicable.  The Carrier
        guarantees the fulfillment of such inland carriers obligations
        under their contracts and tariffs:
  (iii) where neither (i) or (iii) above apply, any liability of the
        Carrier shall be determined by 6(3) (A) above. 
 
(4)  GENERAL PROVISIONS
 
  (A) Delay, Consequential Loss   Save as otherwise provided herein, the
      Carrier shall in no circumstances be liable for direct, indirect or
      consequential loss or damage caused by delay or any other cause
      whatsoever and however caused.  Without prejudice to the foregoing,
      if the Carrier is found liable for delay, liability shall be limited 
      to the freight applicable to the relevant stage of the transport. 
 
  (B) Package or Shipping Unit Limitation   Where the Hague Rules or
      any legislation making such rules compulsorily applicable (such as
      COGSA or COGWA) to this Bill of Lading apply, the carrier shall not,
      unless a declared value has been noted in accordance with (C )below,
      become liable for any loss or damage to or in connection with the
      Goods in an amount per package or shipping unit in excess of the
      package or shipping unit limitation as laid down by such Rules or
      legislation.  Such limitation amount according to COGSA is US$500
      and according to COGWA is Can$500. If no limitation amount is
      applicable under such Rules or legislation, the limitation shall be
      US$500. 
 
  (C) Ad Valorem: Declared Value of Package of Shipping Unit
      The Carrier   s liability may be increased to the higher value by a
      declaration in writing of the value of the Goods by the Shipper upon
      delivery to the Carrier of the Goods for shipment, such higher value
      being inserted on the front of this Bill of Lading in the space
      provided and, if required by the Carrier,  extra freight paid in
      such case.  If the actual value of the Goods shall exceed such
      declared value, the value shall nevertheless be deemed to be the
      declared value and the Carrier   s liability,  if any, shall not
      exceed the declared value and any partial loss or damage shall be
      adjusted pro rata on the basis of such declared value.

      used to consolidate Goods and such Container is stuffed by the
      Carrier, the number of packages or shipping units stated on the face
      of this Bill of Lading in the box provided shall be deemed the
      number of packages or shipping units for the purpose of any limit of
      liability per package or shipping unit provided in any international
      convention or national law relating to the carriage of Goods by sea.
      Except as aforesaid the Container shall be considered the package or
      shipping unit.  The words    shipping unit    shall mean each physical
      unit or piece of the cargo not shipped in a package, including
      articles and things of any description whatsoever, except Goods
      shipped in bulk, and irrespective of the weight or measurement unit
      employed in calculating freight charges. At to Goods shipped in
      bulk, the limitation applicable thereto shall be the limitation
      provided in such convention of law which may be applicable, and in
      no event shall anything herein be construed to be a waiver of
      limitation as to Goods shipped in bulk. 
 
  (E) Rust, etc.    It is agreed that superficial rust, oxidation or any
      like condition due to moisture, is not a condition of damage but is
      inherent to the nature of the Goods and acknowledgement of receipt
      of the Goods in apparent good order and condition is not
      representation that such conditions of rust, oxidation or the like
      did not exist on receipt. 
 
  (F) Notice of Loss or Damage   The Carrier shall be deemed prima facie
      to have delivered the Goods as described in this Bill of Lading

      general nature of such loss or damage, shall have been given in
      writing to the Carrier or to his representative at the place of
      delivery before or at the time of removal of the Goods into the
      custody of the person entitled to delivery thereof under this Bill
      of Lading or, if the loss or damage is not apparent within three
      consecutive days thereafter. 
 
  (G) Time-bar    The Carrier shall be discharged of all liability unless
 suit is brought in the proper forum and written notice thereof received
 by the Carrier within one year after delivery of the Goods or the date
 when the Goods should have been delivered in the event such time period
 shall be found contrary to any convention or law compulsorily applicable,
 the period prescribed by such convention or law shall then apply but in
