Declared Value and Limits of Liability
1.In cases where the shipper declares or agrees in writing that the property
being shipped is released to a value not exceeding $100 per package or
article not enclosed in a package, the applicable rate may be determined
directly from Vol. 2 of the FedEx Service Guide.
2.In cases where the shipper declares or agrees in writing that the property
being shipped is released to a value exceeding $100 per package or article
not enclosed in a package, an additional charge for each $100 or fraction
thereof of valuation in excess of the $100 valuation will be assessed to which
the base rate applies, up to a maximum declared value of $25,000 per
package.
3.The declared value of any shipment represents FedEx Ground's maximum
liability in connection with a shipment, including, but not limited to, any loss,

loss in excess of the declared value is either assumed by the shipper or
transferred by the shipper to an insurance carrier through the purchase of an
insurance policy. The shipper should contact an insurance agent or broker if
insurance coverage is desired. FEDEX GROUND DOES NOT PROVIDE
INSURANCE COVERAGE OF ANY KIND.
