(1) A bill of lading gives rise to the presumption that the carrier has taken over the goods in the state described pursuant to section 515 (1) nos. 7 and 8. If the description given therein refers to the contents of a closed article of transport, then the bill of lading will establish the presumption set out in sentence 1 only if the carrier has inspected the contents and the results of said inspection have been recorded in the bill of lading. If the bill of lading does not provide any information regarding the goods’ condition or characteristic features as externally apparent, then the bill of lading will establish the presumption that the externally apparent condition and characteristic features of the goods were satisfactory at the time the carrier took them over.
(2) The bill of lading does not give rise to the presumption pursuant to subsection (1) insofar as the carrier has entered a reservation in the bill of lading. Such reservation must indicate the following:
1. the condition of the goods upon being taken over by the carrier, or the goods’ characteristic features at the time they were taken over;
2. which information furnished in the bill of lading is incorrect, and what the correct information should be;
3. the carrier’s justification for assuming that the information is incorrect;
4. why the carrier had no sufficient opportunity to verify the information furnished.
