Items of Extraordinary Value
All items included in your shipment which are considered to be of extraordinary (unusual) value must be specifically identified, and MP Santini must be advised in writing that they are included in your shipment. Items of extraordinary value are defined as those items having a value greater than $100 per pound per article. Some of the items typically considered in this category include:
|
Antiques Art Collections Crystal Figurines Furs
|
|
Oriental Rugs Silver and Silverware Tapestries Televisions or Stereos Video / Digital Cameras
|
If items of extraordinary value are included in your shipment, a High Value Inventory Form 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 items of extraordinary value and/or fail to sign the High Value Inventory form, MP Santini's liability for loss or damage to those items will be limited to no more than $100 per pound per article, based upon the actual weight of the article (does not apply to shipments under the "Carrier's Liability" option).
Because MP Santini's liability for your shipment is limited to the written declaration of value which you place on the Bill of Lading, you should include the value of all items, including all items of extraordinary value, in the total amount of released value which you declare for your goods.
