Shipper's Load and Count
Where containers are loaded by shipper or his agent
and sealed, carrier will accept such shipments subject to "Shipper's Load
and Count" and bill of lading shall be so claused
and carrier will not be responsible either directly or indirectly for damage
resulting from improper loading, stowage or mixing of articles in the
container, or any discrepancy in count or concealed damage to articles.
The shipper shall furnish carrier with a list of
contents showing description of goods and the gross weight and cubic
measurements of the contents of the container.
Carrier reserves the right to open and inspect the
contents of a container and so indicates on the bill of lading, resealing the
container.
When containers loaded with goods moving subject to
shipper's load and count are delivered to consignee or his agent, consignee or
his agent must furnish carrier with a claim-free receipt prior to release of
container or contents for delivery.
