OF THE UNITEO STATEB WASHINGTON, 0.C. 20548 FILE: B-206344; B-207516 DATE: February 8, 1983 B-208276 MATTER OF: J&V Audit Company, in behalf of Jet Forwarding, Inc., Allied Van Lines, Inc., and HC&D Forwarders International, Inc. DIGEST: 1. Under provisions of Military Basic Tender and Government bill of lading, Government and forwarder agreed that where forwarder, at destination of international shipment of household goods, is instructed to place shipment into storage-in-transit (SIT), the state shown on the destination line of GBL determines which single-factor rate is applicable to the line-haul movement. 2.
