Except as specified in the Rule No. 7-01E, all freight
and charges are to be prepaid in U.S. Dollars in the
United States, including its possessions and territories.

Freight and charges must be paid in full, in legal tender
without any offset, counterclaim or deduction.  At
carrier's option, payment may be by check or bank draft
acceptable by carrier's bank for immediate credit without
charges.

Deduction of freight forwarder compensation from freight
charges due is not permitted.

The shipper, consignee, owner of the goods and holder of
the Bill of Lading are jointly and severally liable to the
carrier for the payment of all freight and charges and for
the performance of the obligation of each of them.

Shipments on which no release of original Bill of Lading
has been made by the carrier to the shipper or shipper's
agent prior to the vessel's arrival at the Bill of Lading
destination port will be held by the carrier at the Bill of
Lading destination port until all freight and charges are
paid or until the original Bill of Lading has been released
to a shipper according to credit provision in Rule No.
7-030E.
