Freight charges, assessorial charges, surcharges or other charges named in
this Tariff, or on any Web Rate Page in this Tariff, including advanced
charges, may be prepaid or collect (see NOTE 1) at origin or destination,
SBJ to the provisions named herein. However, regardless of whether B/L
payment status is prepaid or collect, the Shipper, his duly authorized
Freight Forwarder, Broker, the Consignee and the Beneficial Cargo Owner
shall be, and will remain, jointly and severally liable for all unpaid
charges and freight, including but not limited to, any sums advanced or
disbursed by the Carrier for the account of the cargo.  Further any payment
of freight or other charges to a freight forwarder, broker or any other
party other than directly to Carrier shall be not deemed payment to the
Carrier, unless and until such payment has been advanced to Carrier.
   
NOTE 1: Shipments of the following commodities MUST be PREPAID in all
 instances:  Household Goods and Personal Effects.
    
a. All Freight and additional Charges provided in this Tariff, or on a web
   Rate Page in this Tariff, are due and considered earned upon receipt of
   the cargo by the originating Carrier, or his agent, and shall be paid to
   the Carrier without discount or deduction, whether the Ship and/or Cargo
   is lost or not lost, transportation is interrupted or abandoned, whether
   the Cargo is damaged or ruined, or whether packages or Containers are
   delivered empty or partly empty at destination.
    
b. Except as otherwise specifically indicated, Rates and Charges named in
   this Tariff, or on any Web Rate Page in this Tariff are quoted in U.S.
   Currency, and have been determined with due consideration to the
   relationship of U.S. Currency to any other currencies involved.  In the
   event of any material deterioration in the exchange value of U.S.
   Currency, the Carrier reserves the right, upon publication in this
   Tariff, to adjust the charges named in this Tariff, or on a Web Rate
   Page in this Tariff, to change the rates named therein to remove any
   adverse effect in conformity with the U.S. Shipping Act of 1984, as
   amended, and SBJ to the regulations of the Federal Maritime Commission
   issued pursuant thereto.
   
c. When Freight and other Charges named in this Tariff, or on a Web Rate
   Page in this Tariff, are paid in foreign countries, Carrier will accept
   payment in a foreign currency provided it is freely convertible.  When
   payment is effected in other than U.S. Currency, currency conversion
   shall be calculated on the basis of the highest official bank selling
   rate of exchange as quoted on the official exchange for the currency
   involved on the day shipment is tendered to the originating Carrier.
    
d. The payment status of any B/L may NOT be changed or altered once
   transportation service of Cargo has commenced (e.g. "prepaid"
   shipments cannot be changed to "collect" shipments and likewise
   "collect" shipments cannot be changed to "prepaid" shipments)
   without the express approval of the Carrier.
    
e. Carrier or its duly authorized Agent, will, upon request of the
   Shipper, Freight Forwarder, Consignee or Beneficial Cargo Owner,
   extend credit to the party listed in the B/L as responsible for the
   payment of Freight and Charges, in amounts not to exceed Freight,
   Assessorials, Terminal and/or Advanced Charges.  The credit period
   shall be 30 (thirty) days from the date of delivery of Cargo in the
   case of collect shipments or from the date Cargo is tendered to
   originating Carrier in the case of prepaid shipments.
   
   If Freight or other Charges are NOT paid within the credit period
   specified herein, the Carrier will cancel the delinquent party's
   credit privileges after which time ALL Freight and Assessorial
   Charges applying on shipments moving for the account of such party
   MUST be paid in cash, cashier's check or money order at the time, or
   prior to the time, Cargo is tendered to originating Carrier for
   transportation.
    
   If any party responsible for the payment of charges fails or refuses
   to pay lawful Freight and/or other Charges due as specified above,
   the Carrier shall be entitled to recover all collection costs
   incurred, including but not limited to, reasonable collection agency
   fees, attorneys' fees and court costs.
