A request for reconsignment or diversion of a shipment, within the scope of this tariff, to effect a change in the name or
address of a Consignor or Consignee, a change in the destination or place of delivery, or a change of billing necessary
to effect delivery, will be accepted, subject to the following conditions:

1. Request for reconsignment or diversion must be made in writing and the Carrier must be satisfied that the party
making the request has the authority to do so. Conditional or qualified requests for reconsignment or diversion will
not be accepted.
2. A shipment which has been delivered to the Carrier and inadvertently misdirected at Shipper/Supplier's instructions
can be diverted at destination at the cost of transporting the freight plus 15%. A shipment will be reconsigned according to

the applicable charges listed in Carrier's published tariff. A shipment may not be reconsigned, diverted, or reshipped in violation of an embargo.
3. Only entire shipments (not portions of any shipments) may be reconsigned or diverted.
4. Carrier will make diligent efforts to execute valid reconsignment or diversion orders, but will not be responsible,
despite such efforts, if reconsignment or diversion is not effected.
5. A shipment consigned "to order", or consigned in any other manner which imposes upon the Carrier the obligation
not to make delivery or permit diversion except upon surrender of original Bill of Lading may be diverted or
reconsigned in advance only under the provisions of the Carrier's tariff rules governing the delivery of shipments
consigned "to order".
