Filing Codes	I

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
detail to permit Carrier to rate cargo, and MUST at a minimum
comply with the following:
     
a. 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, AMS (Automated Manifest System) filing,
   Customs Entry and Consular Documents. 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 supported by U.S. Customs
   Declaration, AMS Filing, Customs Entry, Consular Documents and
   other shipping documents.
     
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, Customs Entry, AMS (Automated Manifest System)
   Filing and/or Consular Documents. Where there is a discrepancy
   between such documents, the highest declaration shall be used
   to calculate freight and additional charges.
