(1) The shipper is to provide to the carrier such documents and such information that may be necessary for official processing prior to delivery of the goods, in particular for customs clearance.
(2) The carrier is liable for any detriment caused by the loss of, physical damage to, or incorrect use of the documents entrusted to the carrier, unless such detriment could not have been avoided by a prudent carrier exercising due care. The liability of the carrier is limited to the amount which would have been payable if the goods had been lost. Any agreement expanding or further restricting this liability is effective only if it has been negotiated in detail, even if it is for a number of similar contracts between the same parties. However, any provision in the bill of lading further reducing the liability is ineffective with respect to third parties.
