All items included in your shipment that are considered to be of extraordinary (unusually high) value must be specifically identified, and United 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 |
Oriental Rugs |
|
| |
Art Collections |
Video Cameras |
|
| |
Tapestries |
Silver and Silverware |
|
| |
Crystal Figurines |
|
|
| |
Televisions or Stereos |
|
|
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, United'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 United's liability for your shipment is limited to the written declaration of value that 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 that you declare for your goods.
