When a specific method, type or size of packing or packaging is
specified in an individual NRA or TLI named in a Rate Tariff governed
by this Tariff, such rate will ONLY apply on shipments of the commodity
so packed or packaged. Additionally, all shipments will be SBJ to the
following packing and marking provisions:
a. All shipments tendered to Carrier for transportation
MUST be packed in a manner that will insure safe
transportation with ordinary care and due diligence on
the part of the Carrier. Such packing shall at least
meet the standards set for shipping within the
boundaries of the United States, and shall at least be,
in the sole judgement of the Carrier, adequate to
protect the cargo from damage during ordinary handling
and ocean transportation. Carrier will assume no
liability for any damage to cargo caused by negligent,
improper or inadequate packing or packaging.
b. Except on FCL shipments subject to Rule 2.23
("Shipper Load, Stow and Count") each individual piece,
package, carton, bundle or unit included in a shipment
MUST bear: Marks and Numbers, Place of Destination and
Origin (including country), and the Name and Address of
the Consignee, Shipper and notify party. In the case of
a shipment moving on an "Order Notify" B/L, or which is
consigned "C.O.D.," each piece, package, carton, bundle
or unit MUST also be marked accordingly. The Carrier
will NOT be responsible for Shipper's failure to observe
the marking regulations of the destination country, NOR
for the accuracy of Shipper furnished labels and/or
information used to prepare such labels.
c. Any single article, which, by its nature, may be shipped
without danger of damage in ordinary handling while
lacking boxing, crating or wrapping will be accepted as
suitably packed for transportation when tendered to the
Carrier without boxing, crating, wrapping or other
packaging.
