Compensation will be paid on freight monies only to such
freight forwarders who are qualified to carry on the
business of forwarding and to receive compensation under
the provisions of the Shipping Act of 1984 and regulations
effective pursuant thereto (46 CFR Part 510), and only when
such freight forwarders have performed the services and
made the certification required by said public law and
regulations, and any amendments thereto.

Carrier will not pay compensation to a freight forwarder on
any shipment in connection with which the carrier files
export declarations, or licenses, on behalf of the shipper
or freight forwarder.

Where a freight forwarder is entitled to compensation, the
freight forwarder shall provide the ocean carrier with
certification which indicates that the freight forwarder
has performed the required services that entitle it to
compensation.  The certification shall read as follows:

 "The undersigned hereby certifies that neither it nor any
holding company, subsidiary, affiliate, officer, director,
agent or executive of the undersigned has a beneficial
interest in this shipment; that it is the holder of valid
F.M.C. License No. issued by the Federal Maritime
Commission and has performed the following services:

1. Engaged, booked, secured, reserved, or contracted
   directly with the carrier or its agent for space aboard
   a vessel or confirmed the availability of that space;
   and

2. Prepared and processed the ocean Bill of Lading, dock
   receipt, or other similar document with respect to
   the shipment."

   The required certification may be placed on one copy of
   the relevant Bill of Lading, a summary statement from
   the freight forwarder, the freight forwarder's
   compensation invoice, or as an endorsement on the ocean
   carrier's compensation check.

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

3. Compensation to Freight Forwarders shall be paid on Ocean
   Freight only.

4. Compensation to Freight Forwarders who are also a
   Treasury Department Licensed Customs House Broker shall
   be paid on Total Freight Charges.

5. Compensation to Ocean Freight Brokers shall be paid on
   Ocean Freight only.  When compensation is paid to Freight
   Forwarders under this rule no compensation shall be paid
   to Ocean Freight Brokers for the same shipment.

Compensation shall be paid at the rates as shown in Rule 9.
