1. Explosives, inflammable, dangerous, or other
   objectionable, hazardous, and dangerous articles
   except as allowed under Hazardous Cargo Rule 16.

2. Cargo loose on platforms or pallets.

3. Cargo which because of its inherent vice is likely
   to impregnate or otherwise damage vessels, containers,
   rail trailers, motor equipment, other inland

   section, where a platform or a flat rack container does
   not have a specified height in the official "Intermodal

   such Platform or Flat Rack container is considered as
   8'6" measured from the lowest point of the container.

   cargo moving under temperature control rates (see Rule
   2.14) or in ventilated or insulated containers, rail
   trailers, and motor equipment.

6. Bank bills, coin or currency, deeds, drafts, notes
   or valuable paper of any kind; jewelry including costume
   or novelty jewelry except where otherwise specifically
   provided, postage stamps or letters and packets of
   letters with or without postage stamps affixed; precious
   metals or atricles manufactured therefrom; precious
   stones; revenue stamps; works of art; antiques, or other
   related or unrelated old, rare, or precious articles of
   extraordinary value or any other ad valorem cargo,
