Filing Codes I

When, at time of booking, a Shipper or his Agent requests that a
particular size transporting container or equipment be made available
for Shipper to load, and due to operational exigencies, Carrier is
unable to provide or obtain such size container or equipment, Carrier
at its option and convenience may, when available, furnish Shipper
with a different container or equipment size than the one requested
for Shipper's use, SBJ to the following provisions and restrictions.
     
a. Ocean freight and charges will be calculated and assessed based
   on the size of the container or equipment requested and booked by
   the Shipper, PROVIDED, the Shipper does NOT load more cargo into
   or onto the container or equipment actually furnished than could
   have been loaded within or on the container or equipment requested.
     
b. When cargo is tendered to the Carrier, Shipper must furnish a
   complete packing list and/or a Shipper completed B/L showing the
   actual weight and cubic measurements of all cargo loaded into or
   onto the container or equipment furnished to the Shipper.
    
c. Carrier reserves the right to weigh, measure and/or inspect the
   cargo loaded into or onto the container or equipment prior to the
   commencement of transportation service.  If Shipper or his Agent
   loads a quantity of cargo in excess of the amount that can be
   loaded into or onto the originally requested container or equipment
   size, ocean freight and changes will be assessed based on the rates
   published for the size of the container or equipment actually
   furnished by the Carrier, instead of the size of the container or
   equipment requested.
    
d. Carrier's B/L and/or Invoice will be claused substantially as
   follows to insure the proper application of Tariff rate and
   provisions per this Rule:
    
     "CARRIER SUBSTITUTED EQUIPMENT - _____ (here specify type and
      size of equipment originally requested) ORIGINALLY REQUESTED"
