- (a) Every vessel entering, passing through or leaving the Seaway shall pay a toll that is the sum of each applicable charge in [§ 402.12](/cfr/33/402.12.md). Each charge is calculated on the description set out in column 1 of [§ 402.12](/cfr/33/402.12.md) and the rate set out in column 2 or 3.
- (b) The toll is assessed against the vessel and its cargo for a complete or partial transit of the Seaway and covers a single trip in one direction.
- (c) The toll is due from the representative of the vessel within 45 days after the day on which the vessel enters the first lock of a transit of the Seaway.
- (d) Except as set out in [paragraph (e)](#e) of this section, the Volume Rebate incentive cannot be combined (i.e., applied to the same cargo movement) with either of the New Business Incentive or the Service Incentive Programs.
- (e) Except for cargoes that qualify for the New Business Incentive, any cargo being shipped by a liner or semi-liner approved under the Service Incentive program shall be eligible for the Volume Rebate Incentive.
