LEGAL LIABILITY
If you choose not to pay to insure your shipment, the goods shipped are automatically covered under legal liability standard to the transportation industry. For domestic shipments the coverage is equal to $0.50/LB with a $100.00 minimum provided the cost of the goods is greater than $100.00. In the case of partial loss/damage, only the lost or damaged portion of the freight is subject to the claim settlement amount of $0.50/lb. For international shipments the legal liability set forth by the Warsaw convention is $20.00/kg or the actual value of goods if less than $20/kg. For international sea freight shipments the legal liability limit is $500 per customary shipping unit. (FCL: 1 container = 1 shipping unit, LCL: shipping units = piece count on the Ocean Bill of Lading)
