The shipper of any shipment whose cargo upon inspection
is found by the certified inspector not to have been
correctly described, weighed, or measured, or counted,
shall be re-billed for any freight due based upon the
certified inspector's findings.

For the purpose of this rule, the term "Certified
Inspector" shall extend only to those certified inspectors
which have been duly appointed as such by the carrier.

1. Inspection and liquidated damages for interference

   Shipments will normally be inspected at origin.
   However, when carrier operations do not permit such
   inspection, carrier may inspect the cargo at destination
   either at carrier's facility or at consignee's premises.

   If the inspection is performed at consignee's premises
   and the consignee interferes, obstructs, or refuses to
   permit such inspection, the shipper shall be required
   to pay liquidated damages in lieu of all other charges
   named herein, based on the greater of:

   a.  The applicable cargo NOS rate, at the declared
       weight, measure or piece count; or

   b.  USD2,000.00, in addition to all other charges
       declared by the shipper, but not verified by the
       carrier.


2. Additional freight, charges and liquidated damages
   for misdeclaration

   In case of mis-declaration of the contents, weight,
   measure or value of the goods, the merchant is liable
   for and bound to pay to the carrier,

   a.  the balance of freight between the freight charged
       and that which would have been due had the correct
       details been declared, plus

   b.  by way of liquidated and ascertained damages, a sum
       equal to the correct freight.


3. Inspection fees and expenses

   In addition to any other additional freight, charges
   and liquidated damages due, the shipper will also pay
   the following:

   a.  Where discrepancies resulting in additional freight
       due arise from an inspeciton which does not require
       the container to be unloaded at carrier's CFS,
       charge of USD60 will be assessed against the
       shipper.

   b.  Where discrepancies resulting in additional freight
       due arise from an inspection which requires
       complete or partial unloading and reloading of a
       container, the shipper will be responsible for the
       costs of such inspection.  For the purposes of
       calculating such costs, the carrier will charge
       USD27 W for ordinary cargo, and USD35 W for
       refrigerated cargo on the cargo actually handled.
       The minimum charge for inspection is USD270 for
       ordinary cargo, and USD350 for refrigerated cargo.

   c.  If the shipper does not agree with the findings
       of certified inspector at origin, the shipper
       may request that an inspection at destination be
       performed by a certified inspector.
       If such inspection results in the shipper owing
       no additional freight or charges, the cost of the
       inspection shall be for the account of the carrier
       and any freight due bills, liquidated damages or
       inspection fees previously assessed on the
       shipment will be cancelled or if paid, refunded.

       If such an inspection confirms in whole or part the
       findings of the certified inspector at origin, the
       shipper will be responsible for additional freight
       due and liquidated damages based on the destination
       certified inspector certificate.  In addition, the
       shipper will also be required to pay inspection
       charges incurred at both origin and destination on
       the shipment.

       If, at shipper's option, the inspection is performed
       at consignee's premises and the consignee interferes,
       obstructs, or refuses to permit such inspection,
       the inspection performed at origin will be considered
       as true and correct.


4. Liability for payment

   In all cases, the shipper, consignee, and/or owners of
   the goods shall, in addition to any other liability
   under applicable law, or under provisions in the
   carrier's Bill of Lading, be jointly and severally
   liable for the payment of correct freight charges and
   any liquidated damages, penalties, or inspection
   charges that may be assessed.
