Declared Value(DV)
IMPORTANT
Most logistics companies have a maximum liability limit for loss, damage, delay or any other claim of any shipment to a fixed amount of money per shipment, unless the shipper declares a higher shipping value under the "Declared Value for Carriage" column and pays corresponding surcharge.
Note : The logistics center does not do conversion, only transparent transmission.
