Abstract:
This final rule, in accordance with existing regulation, raises the liability limits for DBC that U.S. and foreign air carriers may impose from the current figures of $775 and $1,550. Also, in accordance with existing regulation, this final rule raises the liability limit U.S. carriers may impose for mishandled baggage in domestic air transportation from the current amount of $3,800.
