CARRIERS-LIABILITY FOR LOSS OF GOODS-CONNECTING CARRIERS IN FOREIGN COMMERCE

Authors

Abstract

A box of furs, shipped from London, England, to New York City, U. S. A., over the line of the defendant navigation company, was delivered to the defendant trucking company at the order of the United States because the duties had not been paid. The trucking company delivered it to the defendant warehouse where it remained a week before being moved by the same trucking company to the United States Appraisal Stores. Here it was discovered that some of the furs had been stolen from the box. Held, the defendant navigation company was not liable as initial carrier under the Carmack Amendment. Klugman's Sons, Inc. v. Oceanic Steam Navigation Co. et al., 42 F.(2d) 461.
