SUB-RULE 003 - INSPECTION OF CARGO IN CONTAINERS
A. 1. The carrier reserves the right to open, inspect, and
to have a Sworn Measurer verify the contents of a
container with respect to description, weight and/or
measurement, so indicated on the bill of lading, and
Lading, and reseal it with carrier's seal.
2. A shipper of any shipment whose cargo upon inspection
is found by the Sworn Measurer not to have been
correctly described, weighed and/or measured shall be
rebilled for any freight due, based upon the Sworn
Measurer's Certificate. If the shipper fails to pay
the additional freight due within thirty days after
receipt of the notice of such rebilling issued by the
carrier, he will be required at his expense to submit
to the carrier a Sworn Measurer Certificate covering
each and every shipment which he makes from that date
on, until he has paid the additional freight due.
3. If the additional freight due exceeds five percent
of the correct freight based upon the Sworn Measurer
Certificate, the shipper, in addition to the require-
ments of Paragraph 2 of this rule, will be required
at his expense to submit to the carrier a Sworn
Measurer Certificate covering each and every shipment
which he makes during the six month period following
receipt of the notice of such discrepancy issued by
the carrier.
4. If subsequent to a shipment on which the shipper
received the notice of discrepancy specified in
Paragraph 3 of this rule that shipper makes a further
shipment or shipments which upon inspection are found
by the Sworn Measurer to involve discrepancies
exceeding five percent of the correct freight, such
shipper shall be subject to the requirements of
Paragraph 3 of this rule on the basis of an
additional six month period for each such shipment,
such additional six month period to run
consecutively.
5. For the purpose of this rule the term Sworn Measurer
shall extend only to those sworn measurers which have
been duly appointed as such by this carrier.
6. The carrier shall not release the originals or copies
of any bill of lading to any shipper or his agents
until the Sworn Measurer's Certificates required
under Paragraphs 2, 3 and 4 of this rule have been
received by the carrier from the shipper or his
agents.
B. When cargo in containers is required to undergo
inspection by U.S. Customs, Agriculture Food and Drug,
or other such duly authorized government agencies, such
inspections shall be at the risk and expense of the
cargo, and all expenses paid by or billed through the
carrier for these inspections shall be charged to the
cargo, including the transporting of the container from
CY to CFS if required, stripping and reloading the
cargo from and to the container, and returning the
container from CFS to CY if required.
