a. Every Non-Vessel-Operating Common Carrier (NVOCC) MUST
   clearly state its status as an NVOCC when cargo is
   booked with, or tendered to, the Carrier for
   transportation service.
   
b. If the Shipper tendering the cargo identifies itself as
   an NVOCC, the Carrier shall obtain documentation that
   the NVOCC has filed a Tariff with the FMC and maintains
   an effective NVOCC Bond as required by the Shipping Act
   of 1984, as amended, before the Carrier accepts or
   transports cargo for the account of such NVOCC.  A copy
   of the FMC's web site page showing the list of regulated
   OTI's maintaining an NVOCC Tariff (and Bond) will be
   accepted by the Carrier as documenting the NVOCC's
   compliance with the Tariff and Bonding Requirements of
   the Shipping Act.
    
c. When a Shipper's Association tenders or books cargo with
   the Carrier, it MUST clearly state whether or not the
   member for which it is booking or tendering cargo is an
   NVOCC.  If the member for whom transportation service is
   to be provided is an NVOCC the provisions of paragraph
   b. above will apply.
