49 CFR § 375.707 — If a shipment is partially lost or destroyed, what charges may I collect at delivery?. Text in force on September 30, 2007. This wording effective October 1, 2003 to October 1, 2007. Source: govinfo, 2006 edition, https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/CFR-2006-title49-vol5/CFR-2006-title49-vol5-sec375-707.

(a) If a shipment is partially lost or destroyed, you may first collect your freight charges for the entire shipment, if you choose. If you do this, you must refund 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 the articles in the shipment under part 370 of this chapter.

(b) To calculate the amount of charges applicable to the shipment as delivered, you must multiply the percentage corresponding to the delivered shipment by the total charges applicable to the shipment tendered by the individual shipper. The following four conditions also apply:

(1) If the charges computed exceed the charges otherwise applicable to the shipment as delivered, the lesser of those charges must apply. This will apply only to the transportation of household goods and not to charges for other services the individual shipper ordered.

(2) You must collect any specific valuation charge due.

(3) You may disregard paragraph (a) of this section if loss or destruction was due to an act or omission of the individual shipper.

(4) 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) 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 its rights provided in paragraph (a) of this section.
