Except as otherwise provided in individual NRAs, 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. EXPORT FROM THE UNITED STATES:  Description of commodities shall
   be uniform on all copies of the B/L and MUST be in conformity
   with a Validated U.S. Export Declaration, EEI (Electronic Export
   Information) filing to the U.S. Customs Automated Export System
   (AES) and/or Consular Documents covering the shipment. The Carrier
   may verify the B/L description with other shipping documents or
   information to insure accuracy. Amendments or corrections in the
   commodity description will be accepted ONLY if validated by U.S.
   Customs and in conformity with 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. 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.
     
c. Unless otherwise specified, the value of cargo, which is to be
   rated in accordance with a specific value-scale provided in NRAs
   governed by this Tariff, will be determined on the basis of the
   value and net weight as declared in a validated U.S. Customs
   Declaration or Automated Export (AES) Filing, Customs Entry,
   Customs Declaration and/or Consular Documents. Where there is
   a discrepancy between such documents, the highest declaration
   shall be used to calculate freight and additional charges.
