   Declaration and Consular Documents covering the
   shipment.  The Carrier shall verify the B/L description
   with the validated U.S. Export Declaration to insure
   accuracy.  Amendments or corrections in the commodity
   description will be accepted ONLY if validated by
   U.S.Customs and in conformity will all other shipping
   documents.  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.
     
b. IMPORT INTO THE UNITED STATES:  Description of
   commodities shall be uniform on all copies of the B/L
   and MUST be in conformity with Customs Declaration or
   Customs Entry and Consular Documents.  The Carrier shall
   verify the B/L description with other shipping documents
   to insure accuracy.  Amendments or corrections in the
   commodity description will be accepted ONLY if supported
   by U.S. Customs Declaration, Customs Entry, Consular
   Documents and other shipping documents.
     
c. Unless specifically agreed to by Carrier trade 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 or in a governed NSA, 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.
