    liability on the part of the Carrier.
   
 b. Any damage, deterioration or loss of cargo, and any fine imposed

    documentation or shipping information/instructions supplied to
    Carrier, shall be for the account of the cargo.

   cargo insurance will not be automatically provided, the cargo
   insurance terms, conditions and charges shown herein will be
   applied and assessed, which charge shall be in addition to all
   other charges.
         
 a. Cargo Insurance, including "All Risk Insurance" or "F.P.A." (Free
    from Particular Average) insurance, and/or war risk insurance will
    be provided by Carrier on all cargo tendered for transportation
    service SBJ to the Insurance Charge named below, which charge
    shall be in addition to all other applicable charges.  Shipper,
    Consignee or their authorized Agent may request a copy of the actual
    terms and conditions of Carrier’s cargo insurance policies in effect
    on the date of shipment, from the Carrier at the address provided in
    Rule 19 of this Tariff.
   
 b. Any Shipper or Consignee (or their authorized Agent) may decline and
    waive insurance coverage in writing on all, or on any individual,
    shipments tendered for transportation for the account of the Shipper
    or Consignee, provided such notice is received prior to the
    commencement of transportation service by Carrier; in such cases the
    Insurance Charge named below will be waived and not assessed.
    
 c. Shipper, Consignee or their authorized Agent are requested to use
    Carrier’s "Instruction on Shipper Insurance" form to accept or waive
    cargo insurance.  Once signed and forwarded to the Carrier, Carrier
    will keep the Shipper’s or Consignee’s "Instruction on Shipper
    Insurance" form on file and in cases where cargo insurance has been
    declined will waive cargo insurance and cargo insurance charges on
    all shipments transported for the account of the Shipper or
    Consignee until and unless Carrier receives a new form changing
    Shipper’s or Consignee’s instructions.  Shipper, Consignee or their
    authorized Agent may make an exception to their general cargo
    insurance instructions on an individual shipment basis PROVIDED,
    Shipper, Consignee or their authorized Agent notifies Carrier in
    writing (including by email) prior to the commencement of
    transportation service.  In all cases where Cargo Insurance has
    been accepted and/or requested the charges named herein will be
    assessed, which charge shall be in addition to all other applicable
    charges.
