Effective 23MAY2022
Filed 23MAY2022
Filing Codes I

Except as otherwise provided in Rules, Charges and/or Individual
NRAs governed by this Tariff, Rates are stated in U.S. Currency and
apply per weight unit, per measurement unit, lumpsum per shipment,
or per container 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 re-weigh, on certified
     scales, any cargo tendered for shipment. Any weight by the
     Carrier so ascertained 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 inch
     or centimeter 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
     third decimal as follows:
      1) fractions of less than .005 cubic meters are to be dropped;
      2) 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 or unit 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 unusually
     or irregularly shaped piece, package or unit, the three (3) 
     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
     be 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 (or lack thereof), 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
     when calculating the freight or assessorial charges.
     
viii. Where rates named in individual NRAs 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 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:

   apply per specified shipment by weight and by measurement, or
   by a single complete unit or shipment not exceeding a specified
   maximum weight or measurement unit or a maximum number of
   containers, as specified in the individual rate item.
     
f. CORRECTIONS IN WEIGHT AND/OR MEASUREMENTS:  All freight and
   assessorial charges billed on the basis of weight and/or
   measurement are in all cases SUBJECT to revision and
   correction if the weights and/or measurements are found to
   be incorrectly stated or declared regardless of the party
   responsible for the original error.
