Common carriers may limit the amount of their liability when the shipper does not declare the value of goods. Usually these terms must be approved by the Canadian Transportation Agency, which has jurisdiction over the common carrier. Discuss the benefit to both the shipper and the common carrier with this arrangement.

The common carrier bases its freight charges on all of the terms of the contract. The clause limiting liability thus requires the shipper to declare a higher value when necessary and to pay a correspondingly higher rate for the greater liability undertaken by the common carrier. The shipper is then on notice and knows the extent to which it should contract separately for insurance.
