Each claim for loss or damage to cargo filed against Carrier in the manner prescribed herein will be promptly and thoroughly investigated.
Carrier reserves the right to require any and all other documentation it deems necessary, in its sole discretion, to investigate any claim. Regardless of the foregoing, each claim will be supported by the original bill of lading, evidence of the freight charges, if any, and either the original invoice, a copy of the original invoice, or an extract made therefrom, certified by the claimant to be true and correct.
For shipments or any parts thereof which are not delivered, Carrier reserves the right to require certification from the claimant that the missing cargo has not been received from any other source.
Item 330: ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF CLAIMS
Carrier will, upon receipt in writing of a proper claim in the manner and required, acknowledge the receipt of such claim in writing to the claimant within 30 days after the date of its receipt by Carrier unless Carrier will have paid or declined such claim in writing within 30 days of the receipt thereof. Carrier will indicate in its acknowledgment to the claimant what, if any, additional documentary evidence or other pertinent information may be required by it to further process the claim as its preliminary examination of the claim as filed, may have revealed.
Item 350: PROCESSING OF SALVAGE
Whenever baggage or material, goods, or other property transported by Carrier is damaged or alleged to be damaged and is, as a consequence thereof, not delivered or is rejected or refused upon tender thereof to the owner, consignee, or person entitled to receive such property, Carrier, after giving due notice whenever practicable to do so to the owner and other parties that may have an interest therein, and unless advised to the contrary after giving such notice, will undertake to sell or dispose of such property or by the employment of a competent salvage agent. Carrier will only dispose of the property in a manner that will fairly and equally protect the best interests of all persons having an interest therein. Carrier will make an itemized record sufficient to identify the property involved so as to be able to correlate it to the shipment or transportation involved and claim, if any, filed thereon. Carrier also will assign to each lot of such property a successive lot number and note that lot number on its record of shipment and claim, if any claim is filed thereon. Whenever disposition of salvage material or goods will be made directly to an agent or employees of Carrier or through a salvage agent or company in which Carrier or one or more of its directors, officers, or managers has any interest, financial or otherwise, Carrier’s salvage records will fully reflect the particulars of each transaction or relationship, or both as the case may be. Upon receipt of a claim on a shipment on which salvage has been processed in the manner hereinbefore prescribed, Carrier will record on its claim file thereon the lot number assigned, the amount of money recovered, if any, from the disposition of such property, and the date of transmittal of such money to the person or persons lawfully entitled to receive the same.
