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: CODE CONTAINER TYPE CODE CONTAINER TYPE AC Atmosphere Control PC Dry Container DF Drop Frame PL Platform FB Flat Bed RE Reefer FR Flat Rack TC Tank Container GC Garment Container TL Top Loader HH Half-Height TR Trailer IN Insulated VR Vehicle Rack OT Open Top CODE CONTAINER SIZE CODE CONTAINER SIZE 10X 10ft. long, any height LTL Less Than Load 20 20ft. long, 8'6"high 43 43ft. long, 8'6"high 20S 20ft. long, 8'0"high 43S 43ft. long, 8'0"high 20A 20ft. long, 9'0"hicube 43A 43ft. long, 9'0"hicube 20B 20ft. long, 9'6"hicube 43B 43ft. long, 9'6"hicube 20X 20ft. long, any height 43X 43ft. long, any height 24 24ft. long, 8'6"high 45 45ft. long, 8'6"high 24S 24ft. long, 8'0"high 45S 45ft. long, 8'0"high 24A 24ft. long, 9'0"hicube 45A 45ft. long, 9'0"hicube 24B 24ft. long, 9'6"hicube 45B 45ft. long, 9'6"hicube 24X 24ft. long, any height 45X 45ft. long, any height 35 35ft. long, 8'6"high 48 48ft. long, 8'6"high 35S 35ft. long, 8'0"high 48S 48ft. long, 8'0"high 35A 35ft. long, 9'0"hicube 48A 48ft. long, 9'0"hicube 35B 35ft. long, 9'6"hicube 48B 48ft. long, 9'6"hicube 35X 35ft. long, any height 48X 48ft. long, any height 40 40ft. long, 8'6" high 42 42ft. long, 8'6"high 40S 40ft. long, 8'0" high 42S 42ft. long, 8'0"high 40A 40ft. long, 9'0" high 42A 42ft. long, 9'0"hicube 40B 40ft. long, 9'6" high 42B 42ft. long, 9'6"hicube 40X 40ft. long, any height 42X 42ft. long, any height e. Rates and/or additional charges stated on a lumpsum basis 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.
