MATTER OF: American Farm Lines


DIGEST:

1.   Carrier has not shown that rwotorized
     road grader is tractor as contemplated
     by Tender 345, item 30(u)(1), since
     record indicates road grader is not
     used for hauling and drawing over
     the highway for transportation of
     passengers or property.

2W   Since the commodity shipped is not;
     covered under item 30(B)(1) of Tender
     345,it is covered by item 30(A), which
     applies to commodities not specifically
     covered under items 30(B) or 30(C)o


3.


Item 30(A) of Tender 345 does not require
a declaration of released value in, speci-
fied form as a condition of applicability;
therefore, despite absence of declaration
on Government bill of lading, the released
valuation rates of the tender apply to the
shipment9  B-200939, May 29, 1981.
