Subpart G - Delivery of shipments

Code of Federal Regulationsยง 375.707If a shipment is partially lost or destroyed, what charges may I collect at delivery?(a) (1) If a shipment is partially lost or destroyed, you may collect at delivery:(i) A prorated percentage of the binding estimate or a prorated percentage of up to 110 percent of the non-binding estimate. The prorated percentage is equal to the percentage of the weight of that portion of the shipment delivered relative to the total weight of the shipment. For example, if you deliver only 2,500 pounds of a shipment weighing 5,000 pounds, you may demand at destination, as applicable, only 50 percent of a binding estimate or 50 percent of not more than 110 percent of a non-binding estimate;(ii) Charges for any additional services requested by the shipper after the bill of lading has been issued; and(iii) Charges for impracticable operations, if applicable, except that such charges must not exceed 15 percent of all other charges due at delivery.(iv) Any specific valuation charge due.(2) You must bill and collect from the individual shipper any remaining charges not collected at delivery in accordance with subpart H of this part.(b) You must determine, at your own expense, the proportion of the shipment, based on actual or constructive weight, not lost or destroyed in transit.(c) You may disregard paragraph (a)(1) of this section if loss or destruction was due to an act or omission of the individual shipper.(d) The individual shipper's rights are in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights the individual shipper may have with respect to a shipment of household goods you or your agent(s) partially lost or destroyed in transit. This applies whether or not the individual shipper exercises any rights to obtain a refund of the portion of your published freight charges corresponding to the portion of the lost or destroyed shipment (including any charges for accessorial or terminal services) at the time you dispose of claims for loss, damage, or injury to articles in the shipment under part 370 of this chapter.[72 FR 36775, July 5, 2007]
