All items in your shipment, which are considered to
be of extraordinary value, must be identified. You must
advise your moving company in writing that they are
in your shipment. These items are defined as items having
a value greater than $ 100.00 per pound per article.
For example:
- Antiques
- Crystal
- Precious Stones or Gems
- Precious Metals
- Art Collections
- Currency
- Silver and Silverware
- Figurines
- Video Cameras
- Computer & Software
- Furs
- Coin Collection
- Oriental Rugs
If you include items of extraordinary value in your
shipment, a High Value Inventory sheet must be completed
and signed by you prior to your move. In the event
of a claim, any settlement is limited to the valuation
you declare for the entire shipment. If you fail to
list all extraordinary items value and/or fail to sign
the High Value Inventory sheet, the moving company liability
for loss of or damage to those items will be limited
to no more than $ 100.00 per pound per article, based
upon the actual weight of the article (does not apply
to shipments under the "basic carrier liability"
option).
You must declare the total amount of released value
for your goods. This total should include the value
of items, including all items of extraordinary value.
Record the total value on the bill of lading. Please
note that the protection for items of extraordinary
value is not available for shipments, which are released
to the moving company's value of 60 cents per pound
per article (basic carrier liability option).
