§ 375.201   What is my normal liability for loss and damage when I accept goods from an individual shipper?

(a) In general, you are legally liable for loss or damage if it happens during performance of any transportation of household goods and all related services identified on your lawful bill of lading.

(b) You are liable for loss of, or damage to, any household goods to the extent provided in the current Surface Transportation Board's released rates order. Contact the Surface Transportation Board for a current copy of the Released Rates of Motor Carrier Shipments of Household Goods. The rate may be increased annually by the carrier based on the Department of Commerce's Cost of Living Adjustment.

(c) As required by §375.303(g), you may have additional liability if you sell liability insurance and you fail to issue a copy of the insurance policy or other appropriate evidence of insurance.

(d) You must, in a clear and concise manner, disclose to the individual shipper the limits of your liability.
