Except as otherwise provided in individual TLIs (Rate
Items), Shipper MUST furnish, or arrange for the
preparation of, all documentation and information required
to export cargo from country of origin, to import cargo
into country of destination, and to transport cargo through
other countries between origin and destination.  In
addition to all documentation, Shipper MUST describe cargo
in sufficient detail to permit Carrier to rate cargo, and
MUST at a minimum comply with the following:
     
a. SHIPMENTS EXPORTED FROM THE UNITED STATES: Description of
   commodities shall be in general agreement on all copies of the B/L
   and other Shipping Documents and MUST NOT be in conflict with
   U.S. Export Declarations (AES, ISF and/or SED) or Consular Documents
   covering the shipment.  The Carrier shall have the right to verify
   the B/L against any validated U.S. Export Declaration to insure
   accuracy.  Amendments or corrections in the commodity description
   will be accepted ONLY if supported by a U.S. Export Declaration.  If
   shipments are NOT covered by a Shipper's Export Declaration, as
   permitted by Export Control Regulations, Shippers MUST insert the
   applicable commodity Schedule B number in the Line Copy of the B/L.
     
a. SHIPMENTS IMPORTED INTO THE UNITED STATES: Description of commodities
   shall be in general agreement on all copies of the B/L and other
   Shipping Documents including U.S. Customs AMS declaration, and MUST
   NOT be in conflict with Customs Declaration or Customs Entry and
   Consular Documents.  The Carrier shall have the right to verify the
   B/L description with any shipping documents to insure accuracy.
   Amendments or corrections in the commodity description will be
   accepted ONLY if supported by a U.S. Customs Declaration, Customs
   Entry, Consular Documents and other shipping documents.
     
c. Trade or Commercial Product names are NOT acceptable
   commodity descriptions.  Shippers are required to
   declare their commodities by their generally accepted
   generic or common name.
     
d. Unless otherwise specified, the value of cargo, which is
   to be rated in accordance with a specific value-scale
   provided in this Tariff, will be determined on the basis
   of the value and net weight as declared in a validated
   U.S. Export Declaration, Customs Declaration, Customs
   Entry and/or Consular Documents.  Where there is a
   discrepancy between such documents, the highest
   declaration shall be used to calculate freight and
   additional charges.
