* Minimal protection‚ whereby the shipment is set at a Released Value of $0 .60 per lb. per item; which is no cost to the customer.

Example: $10.00 per lb. x the weight of the shipment (12,000 lb. x $10.00 Replacement Valuation is 120,000 @ the cost of .80 per $100.00 valuation = $960.00 charge to customer).
