Compensation standards for air cargo

The airline is the carrier, and the air waybill is the proof of delivery. The agency also has its own waybill, which becomes the air waybill. On the back of the air waybill and air waybill, there are liability expenses and compensation clauses. There will be specific responsibility allocation above, which we can see clearly when mailing the goods.

1. If the goods are damaged during transportation, the responsible party should be investigated first, whether it is the agent's responsibility or the carrier's responsibility. Regardless of which party is responsible, compensation is generally made according to the terms of the Warsaw Convention, that is, according to the terms on the back of the air waybill and waybill. Generally, the compensation amount is not more than $20 per kilogram based on the chargeable weight of the goods, and the remaining part is claimed by the shipper to the insurance company, provided that the shipper has purchased insurance before transportation.

2. Notice of claim and statute of limitations for litigation. According to the provisions of the Warsaw Convention, in the event of damage to the goods, the consignee or relevant party shall provide written notice within 7 days from the date of receipt of the goods. In the event of delayed delivery, the consignee shall file a claim notice within 14 days after the receipt of the goods. If no claim notice is filed within the above-mentioned deadline, it shall be deemed that the shipper has waived the claim.
