$.64 per $100 of declared value should

not only be retained, but increased to

$1.35 per $100 of declared value.

Removing the $.64 valuation charge will

simply serve to take even more money

away from carriers, with no valid

reason. Unless liability level is returned

to $.60 per pound per article, the

valuation charge is needed in return.

MTMC Response: MTMC agrees with

GAO’s recommendation that the

valuation charge is unnecessary.

Carriers should include appropriate

claims costs in their rates. MTMC is

examining alternatives to phase out/

eliminate the valuation charge.

13. Comment: The Total Quality

Assurance Program and the High Risk

Item Protection Program and the present

carrier liability should be used for

evaluation and utilized to reach a

supportable decision.

MTMC Response: The commenter has

mixed evaluation of carrier services

with liability for loss and damage. Each

of these areas is separate and distinct.

Also, the industry’s HRIP is an excellent

initiative to reduce loss and damage;

however, this also is a quality control/

assurance tool and should not be

confused with carrier liability when

loss/damage does occur.

14. Comment: It is unfair and not

justified to hold international carriers

responsible for the full value of damages

incurred on an international move. The

movement in international trade is

many times outside the carrier’s direct

control, such as movement by vessel,

aircraft, or the movement of goods in

foreign lands. It is just and right that the

Government should take part in a

portion of that risk.

MTMC Response: MTMC recognizes

international personal property

shipments require additional handling

and over-ocean movement. Accordingly,

MTMC expects carriers to subcontract

with ocean and linehaul carriers and

other parties that provide quality service

and damage-free movement. MTMC also

expects carriers to have appropriate

provisions in their contracts with

underlying service providers, which

include adequate reimbursement

options for loss and damage.
