(1) This Bill of Lading insofar as it relates to sea
carriage by any vessel whether named herein or not shall
have effect subject to the Hague Rules or any
legislation making such rules or the Hague-Visby Rules
compulsorily applicable (such as COGAS 1936 or COGWA
1936 or COGAS 1971) to this Bill of Lading and the
provision of the Hague Rules or applicable legislation
shall be deemed incorporated herein. The Hague Rules (or
COGAS 1936 when this Bill of Lading is subject to U.S
Law) shall apply to the carriage of Goods by inland
waterways and reference to carriage by sea in such Rules
or legislation shall be deemed to include reference
inland waterways. The Hague Rules or applicable
legislation shall apply to all Goods whether carried on
deck or under deck. If and extent that provisos of the
Harter Act of the United Sates of America 1893 would
otherwise be compulsorily applicable to regulate the
Carrier's responsibility for the Goods during any period
prior to loading on or after discharge from the vessel,
the Carrier's responsibility shall instead be governed
by the provisions of Clause 8, but if such provisions
are found to be invalid such responsibility shall be
subject to COGAS 1936
(2) The Carrier shall be entitled (and nothing in this
Bill of Lading shall operate to limit or deprive such
entitlement) to the full benefit of, and rights to, all
limitations of or exemptions from liability and all
rights conferred or authorized by any applicable law
statute or regulation of any country including, but not
limited to , where applicable any provisions of sections
4281 to 4287, inclusive, of the Revised Statutes of the
United States of America and amendments thereto and
where  applicable any provision of the laws of the
United States of America.
 
11. LIMINATION AMOUT
(1) When the Carrier is liable for compensation in
respect of loss or damage to the Goods, such
compensation shall be calculated by reference to the
value of such Goods at the place and time they are
delivered to the Consignee in accordance with the
contract or should have been so delivered.
(2) The value of the Goods shall be fixed according to
the current commodity exchange price, or , if there be
no such price, according to the current market price,
or, if there be no commodity exchange price or current
market price, by reference to normal value of Goods of
the same kind and quality.
(3) Except where otherwise provided in this Bill of
Lading, compensation shall not exceed US $500 per
package or unit of Goods lost or damaged. However, the
Carrier shall not, in any case, be liable for an amount
greater than the actual loss to the person entitled to
the claim.
(4) Where the Hague Rules, Hague-Visby Rules or COGSA
1936 or COGWA 1936 or COGSA 1971 apply, the Carrier
shall not, unless a declared value has been noted in

liable for any loss or damage to or in connection with
the Goods in an amount per package or shipping unit in
excess of the package or shipping unit limitation as
laid down by the applicable Rules or Act or any
legislation making these Rules compulsorily applicable
to this Bill of Lading. Such limitation amount,
according to COGSA 1936 is US$500 and according to COGWA
1936 is CAN$ 500 and according to COGSA 1971 is a sum of
2 SDR's per kilo of the gross weight or 666.67 SDR's per
package or unit, of the Goods lost or damaged, whichever
shall be the greater. If no other limitation amount is
applicable under the relevant compulsory legislation,
the limitation shall be according to COGSA 1936.
(5) The Carrier's liability, if any, may be increased to
higher value by the Shipper making a declaration, in
writing, of the Goods valuation on delivery to the
Carrier of the Goods for shipment, such valuation to be
inserted on the front of the Bill of Lading, in the
space provided, and extra freight paid if required by
the Carrier. In such case, if the actual value of the
Goods shall exceed such declared value, the value shall
nevertheless be deemed to be the declared value and the
Carrier's liability, if any, shall not exceed the
declared value and any partial loss or damage shall be
adjusted pro rata on the basis of such declared value.
(6) Where a Container is used to consolidate Goods and
such Container is stuffed by the Carrier, the number of
packages or shipping units stated on the face of this
Bill of Lading in the box provided shall be deemed the
number of packages or shipping units for the purpose of
any limit of liability per package or shipping unit
provided in any International Convention or National Law
relating to the Carriage of Goods by Sea or Water.
Except as aforesaid the Container shall be considered
the package, or shipping unit. The words' shipping until
shall mean each physical unit or piece of cargo not
shipped in a package, including articles or thing of any
description whatsoever, except Goods shipped in bulk,
and irrespective of the weight or measurement unit
employed in calculating freight charges. As to Goods
shipped in bulk, the limitation applicable thereto shall
be the limitation provided in such convention or law
which may be applicable and in no event shall anything
herein be construed to be a waiver of limitation as to
Goods shipped in bulk.

              reasonably possible place the Goods or any
part of them at the Merchant's disposal at any
              place which the Carrier may deem safe and
convenient, whereupon the responsibility of
              the Carrier in respect of such Goods shall
cease.
    (b) without prejudice to the Carrier's rights
subsequently to abandon the Carriage under
    (a) above, continue the carriage.

charges on Goods received for carriage and the Merchant
shall pay any additional costs resulting from the above
mentioned circumstances.
