Sec. 373.105  Low value packages.



    The carrier and shipper may elect to waive the above provisions and 

use a more streamlined recordkeeping or documentation system for 

distribution of ``low value'' packages. This includes the option of 

shipping such packages under the provisions of 49 U.S.C. 14706(c). The 

shipper is responsible ultimately for determining which packages should 

be designated as low value. A useful guideline for this determination is 

an invoice value less than or equal to the costs of preparing a loss or 

damage claim.
