a. Every Non-Vessel-Operating Common Carrier (NVOCC) MUST clearly
   state its status as an NVOCC when cargo is booked with, or
   tendered to, the Carrier for transportation service.
   
b. If the Shipper tendering the cargo identifies itself as an NVOCC,
   the Carrier shall obtain documentation that the NVOCC has filed
   a Tariff in compliance with FMC regulations and maintains an
   effective Ocean Transportation Intermediary NVOCC Bond as
   required by the Shipping Act of 1984, as amended, before the
   Carrier accepts or transports cargo for the account of such
   NVOCC.  A copy of the Tariff Rule (required by 46 CFR 520.11)
   published by the NVOCC which demonstrates that a Tariff and
   Bond are in effect (including printed copies of a downloaded
   internet Tariff Screen Display) will be accepted by the Carrier
   as documenting the NVOCC's compliance with the Tariff and Bonding
   Requirements of the Shipping Act.
    
c. When a Shippers' Association tenders or books cargo with the
   Carrier, it MUST clearly state whether or not the member for
   which it is booking or tendering cargo is an NVOCC.  If the
   member for whom transportation service is to be provided is an
   NVOCC the provisions of paragraph b. above will apply.
