ITEM 500 Bills of Lading, Freight Bills, & Statements of Charges

Transportation of shipments handled by CSA is governed by the terms and conditions as found on the CSA Bill of Lading and the rules, regulations, and charges as published in this tariff.

No deviation from these standard terms and conditions will apply in connection with shipments handled by CSA except upon written agreement signed by an officer of CSA. Terms and conditions of pre-printed Bills of Lading tendered to CSA by Shipper at time of shipment and signed by CSA’s driver or dock worker will not apply except upon written agreement of an officer of CSA. Bills of Lading so tendered by Shipper at time of shipment will be accepted by CSA subject to the terms and conditions shown herein and as modified in this rules tariff.

CSA will provide when required:

A. Copies of freight bills, invoices, statements or proofs of delivery.

B. Other forms or copies as may be required for submission with freight bills for payment.

When a corrected Bill of Lading or letter of authority to amend any aspect of a Bill of Lading is received from the responsible party the following provisions will apply:

A. Corrected Bills of Lading or letters of authority to change the payment status from collect to prepaid or prepaid to collect will be subject to acceptance by CSA. The request must be made by the Shipper in writing and within thirty (30) days of the original Bill of Lading.

B. Corrected Bills of Lading or letters of authority to change the freight charge collection status from prepaid to collect will not be accepted if Section 7 of the corrected Bill of Lading has been signed by the consignor, or once the shipment has been delivered or if shipment has been lost or damaged.

ITEM 501 Definition of Package

The term package as used in this item means any primary shipping package authorized by the provisions of individual tariffs or classification items. When a number of packages have been unitized, strapped or otherwise fastened together or contained on pallets, platforms or skids or have been over packed in an additional complying package, CSA’s liability will be determined by separately multiplying the weight of each individual package lost or damaged computed on $2.00 per pound ($4.41 per kilogram) and not on the basis of the weight of the total number of packages unitized, strapped or otherwise fastened together or contained on pallets, platforms or skids or over packed in an additional complying package.

ITEM 502 Released Valuation When Goods are Received From a Freight Forwarder

On shipments having prior or subsequent transit by air or water, and said shipments are tendered to CSA by a freight forwarder, CSA’s maximum liability shall be no more than $1.50 per pound. The provisions of this rule shall supersede any valuations, actual or released, provided on the Bill of Lading or waybill.

In the event of a conflict between this provision and any other provision in CSA’s rules tariff the provision which has the lower limitation shall apply.
