   the Carrier, either orally or in writing, unless such
   instructions have been given previously.  If no written
   instructions are forwarded by the Shipper to the 
   Carrier, Carrier's booking records shall govern

   rate.  If Shipper does NOT specify a specific Transit
   Service, Carrier will forward shipments and assess

     Service in error, Shipper shall be assessed freight
     charges based on the Transit Service level Shipper

     cargo is held at Carrier's Terminal or Container Yard

     for the Transit Service selected, Carrier will give 
     the Shipper the option of waiting until the next 
     sailing for the Transit Service selected or of 
     changing the Transit Service status of the shipment.
     If Shipper decides to change the Transit Service 
     selected, freight charges shall be assessed on the 
     basis of the Transit Service via which the shipment 
     actually moves.  In either case all charges for 
     storage, container shifting or reloading or shipment 
     return, incurred as a result of Shipper's error or 
     ommission shall be for the account of the Shipper.
