Cargo freighted on a weight basis is assessed rates on the
gross weight of individual pieces or packages in kilograms.
1,000 kilograms equals one (1) kilo ton.  In computing
total weight in kilo tons to determine freight charges,
round off to three (3) places beyond the decimal.

1. NET WEIGHT RULE
   (Applicable only when specifically referenced in
    commodity description)

   Shipments of refrigerated meat, meat by-products and
   poultry subject to this rule are assessed rates
   on the basis of net weights as declared on certified
   U.S. Department of Agricultural (forms MP 103-A, 200,
   412-3, 414-3, or 506, or reissues thereof)
   certificates.

   These certificates must be submitted to the carrier
   prior to loading cargo onto vessel. Failure to furnish
   certificates prior to vessel loading may result in
   cargo being held on dock (subject to applicable cargo
   demurrage) until certificate is received, and will be
   considered an incomplete freight payment subjecting
   shipper to loss of credit privileges provided in Rule
   7-030.

2. PUBLIC WEIGHER'S CERTIFICATE REQUIRED
   (Applicable only when specifically referenced in
    commodity description)

   Shipments of articles subject to this rule will be
   accepted by carrier for transportation when a certified
   public weigher's certification showing actual gross
   weight is submitted to the carrier prior to release of
   original Bill of Lading.  In the absence of such a
   certificate, a scale certificate obtained at the
   carrier's loading port terminal or CY, or discharging
   port terminal, will be used.

   Shipments must be accompanied by weight certificates
   as prescribed by the state or local authorities in
   which the cargo originates.  All certificates must be
   furnished for each individual truck load or container
   as delivered for each Bill of Lading quantity.  All
   freight and charges must be assessed on the basis of
   certificate weights.  Also see Rule 2-210.
