Except as otherwise provided in individual Tariff Rules or on Web Rate
Pages herein, rates and charges named in this Tariff are stated in U.S.
Currency and apply per weight unit, per measurement unit, per container
or lumpsum per shipment as specified. Calculation of freight and
additional charges will be based upon the applicable rate, times the
number of units tendered for transportation, subject to the provisions
named below.
a. Rates and/or additional charges stated on a weight unit basis ("W"
or "W-ton") apply per ton of 1000 kilos.
i. Freight and additional charges on shipments subject to rates or
charges stated on a weight unit basis will be computed on the
gross weight of the cargo PLUS the weight of all packing materials,
pallets or shipping containers (exclusive of the weight of the
ocean container) established at the time cargo is tendered for
transportation at origin.
ii. Carrier reserves the right to weigh or reweigh, on certified
scales, any cargo tendered for shipment. Any weight so ascertained
by the Carrier shall be deemed paramount and shall be used to
compute freight and additional charges regardless of any other
weight, certified or otherwise, declared or provided by the Shipper
or his agent. Shipper may however at his own expense, seek
independent certification of the accuracy of any scales utilized by
the Carrier.
b. Rates and/or additional charges stated on a measurement unit basis
("M" or "M-ton") apply per cubic meter.
i. Freight and additional charges on shipments subject to rates or
charges stated on a measurement unit basis will be computed on the
overall measurement of each piece, package or unit in the shipment.
The cubical content of each piece, package or other unit shall be
the extreme dimensions of the length, width and height of such
piece, package or unit.
ii. Before any other calculations are made all fractional centimeter or
inch dimensions will be disposed of as follows:
1. All fractions of less than one-half centimeter/inch shall be
dropped.
2. All fractions of one-half centimeter/inch or more shall be rounded
up to the next full centimeter/inch.
iii. When calculating the cube of any piece, package or unit in a
shipment, fractional cubic meters are to be rounded off to the
second decimal as follows: fractions of less than .005 cubic
meters are to be dropped, fractions of .005 cubic meters or greater
are to be increased to the next higher second decimal. In the case
of multiple pieces, packages or units of like dimensions, the cube
on one package, calculated to the sixth decimal, is to be
multiplied by the total number of like packages and the total cube
so determined is then to be rounded off to the second decimal as
specified above.
iv. When calculating freight and additional charges of an irregular or
unusually shaped piece, package or unit, the 3 (three) greatest
dimensions shall be used as the rating measurements.
v. When calculating freight and additional charges of Barrels, Casks,
Kegs and Drums, measurements shall be taken on the square of the
bilge.
vi. When calculating freight and additional charges of rolls and
cylindrical pieces, packages or units, the measurements are to
taken on the square of the mean diameter (i.e. averaging the
diameter at the greatest and least girth).
vii. Whenever an individual piece, package or other shipping unit is
tendered for transportation and it is requested by Shipper, or is
necessary because of the nature of the cargo or its packaging, that
no cargo be stowed on top of same, Carrier will use the maximum
inside height dimension of the transporting container as the height
of the cargo when calculating the freight or assessorial charges.
viii. Where rates named in this Tariff are stated on a weight basis and
apply ONLY when the measurement of the cargo is not to exceed a
stated cubic measurement unit per a stated weight unit, the total
measurement of the commodity, subject to such limitation, moving on
a single B/L will be the used to determine the applicable rate when
calculating freight charges instead of utilizing the
measurement/weight ratio of each individual piece, package or unit
in the shipment.
c. Rates and/or additional charges stated on an alternating weight unit
or measurement unit apply per the weight or measurement unit, defined
in paragraphs a. or b. above, whichever produces the greatest revenue
to the Carrier.
d. Rates and/or additional charges stated on a per container basis ("PC")
apply per single container by capacity and type as defined below:

are in all cases SUBJECT to revision and correction if the weights
and/or measurements are found to be incorrectly stated or declared
