Articles of Extraordinary Value, Limitation of Liability, Prohibited or Restricted Articles , Released Value and High Value Coverage
Section 1 - Articles of Extraordinary Value
(See Notes A, B and C)
A. Maximum liability on shipments subject to a SPOT QUOTE or Pallet Pricing will be :
Per Pound per package........ $2.00
Not to Exceed................... $10,000
B. Unless otherwise provided, articles with an invoice value exceeding the limitations shown in COLUMN B, opposite the corresponding Class in Column A, shall be considered to be of extraordinary value.
C. Articles of extraordinary value accepted for transportation shall be considered released at the value per pound per distribution package shown in Column B, opposite the corresponding Class in COLUMN A, subject to a maximum liability of $ 100,000.00 per shipment.
D. The maximum value per pound per distribution package allowed shall be arrived at as follows:
    1. Determine the actual Class of the article tendered, as published in the National Motor Freight Classification 100 Series
    2. Locate that actual Class in COLUMN A.
    3. The maximum value per pound per distribution package is shown in COLUMN B, opposite the corresponding Class in Column A.
Column A Column B Column A Column B Column A Column B
Actual NMFC Class Maximum Value per lb per Distribution Package Actual NMFC Class Maximum Value per lb per Distribution Package Actual NMFC Class Maximum Value per lb per Distribution Package
50 $2.00 85 $11.87 175 $25.00
55 $2.15 92.5 $15.80 200 $25.00
60 $2.35 100 $19.76 250 $25.00
65 $3.92 110 $21.74 300 $25.00
70 $5.92 125 $23.00 400 $25.00
77.5 $7.90 150 $24.20 500 $25.00

E. The carrier's maximum liability in the event of loss or damage will be determined separately for each distribution package lost or damaged, and will be limited to the lowest of the following:
   1. The actual value of the shipment at origin; or
   2. The valuation provided in Paragraph D, above; or
   3. The Released Value as stated in the National Motor Freight Classification 100 series, which will apply for each distribution package lost or damaged.
F. The term "Distribution Package" means any primary shipping package authorized by the provisions of individual tariffs governed by this tariff or classification items in the NMFC. When a number of distribution packages have been unitized, strapped or otherwise fastened together, or contained on pallets, platforms or skids, or have been overpacked in an additional complying package, the carrier's maximum liability will be determined by separately multiplying the released value times the weight of each individual distribution package lost or damaged and not on the basis of the weight of the total number of distribution packages unitized, strapped or otherwise fastened together, or contained on pallets, platforms or skids, or overpacked in an additional complying package. Where a distribution package contains articles subject to the provisions of this item and articles not subject to this item, the carrier's maximum liability is to be determined by multiplying the total weight of the distribution package by the maximum value per pound shown in COLUMN B of Paragraph "D" of this item, as determined by the corresponding Actual NMFC Class as shown in COLUMN A of Paragraph "D".
G. If the shipper does not properly describe the freight on the Bill of Lading or uses a description of “FAK” or “Freight All Kinds” or other language that does not properly identify the commodities shipped, subsequent claims for shortage or damage will be based on the lowest value of any commodity contained in the shipment.

Section 2 – Property of Extraordinary Value (See Note C)
Unless otherwise provided, the following property will not be accepted for shipment nor as premiums accompanying other articles:
BANK BILLS NOTES
CREDIT CARDS ORIGINAL WORKS OF ART (See Note I)
CURRENCY, other than coin (See Note E) PRECIOUS METAL

   Radioactive Materials, Articles or Isotopes that are highway route controlled.

.Section 5 - High Value Coverage (See Note B)
1. Commodities tendered for shipment with an invoice value exceeding values as stated in Section 1 will be considered to be of “High Value”.
2. The shipper may request “High Value Coverage” on shipments of commodities that exceed the maximum liability limitations as provided in Section 1herein or in other tariffs or contracts only as set forth in this item.
3. Shipments described in Paragraph 1 hereof where “High Value Coverage” is not requested, shall be governed by any and all limitations set forth in Item 350 herein or as provided in the NMFC.
a) “High Value Coverage” will be deemed to be requested when the Bill of Lading is marked as such at the time of shipment, and the shipper must indicate in writing on the Bill of Lading the total “High Value Coverage” requested. (See Example below and Notes J, K and L)

Example: A shipper requesting $10,000.00 “High Value Coverage” would notate the Bill of Lading as follows;
    “High Value Coverage requested in the amount of $10,000.00.”

4. “High Value Coverage” purchased by the shipper will apply to the shipment as a whole and will be prorated across the entire shipment in the event of a partial loss or damage.
5. The charge for “High Value Coverage” will be:
$.60 per $100 of High Value Coverage requested, subject to a minimum charge of $50.00 per shipment, and subject to a maximum excess value coverage of $100,000.00 per shipment. The charge will be in addition to any applicable freight charge and is not subject to any discount. The charge will be payable by the party responsible for payment of the freight charges and shall be considered and treated as additional freight charges.
6. High Value Coverage includes the amount of the invoice supplied by the Consignor or Consignee, plus the prepaid or collect freight charges not included in the invoice, plus 10%, calculated as follows:
EXAMPLE:

    a. INVOICE AMOUNT- $30,000, PLUS freight Charges of $300.00 = $30,300.
    b. AMOUNT OF COVERAGE- $30,300 multiplied by 110% = $33,330.
    c. CHARGE AT $.60 PER $100 = 333.30 units multiplied by $.60 = $199.98.

7. Maximum Liability: The maximum “High Value coverage” available is a total combined amount of $100,000.00 per shipment. If a shipment is inadvertently accepted with a request for excess value coverage exceeding $100,000.00, the maximum coverage shall be limited to $100,000.00. In no event shall liability exceed the actual invoice value of the goods shipped (including “High Value coverage).

8. Executing the provisions stated in Section 3 will eliminate the application of Section 1 of this item

Section 6 - Released Value
1. If a released rate is available for the commodity shipped, and if the Consignor fails to declare the Released Value on the Bill of Lading at the time of shipment, the shipment will not be accepted.
