251: Requirements for contract for carriage at declared value risk

You could also call this:

“Rules for making a special shipping agreement with a set value”

You can have a contract for carriage at declared value risk only if you meet two conditions. First, you need to write down the contract. Second, you need to follow the rules in section 253. If you don’t do both of these things, your contract won’t count as a contract for carriage at declared value risk.
