- CACV61/1995
The bills of lading expressly enumerated 500 cartons per bill and the Hague-Visby deeming provision applies, so the relevant shipping units for limitation are the cartons not the containers; accordingly limitation did not assist the carrier and the trial judgment awarding damages based on the FOB value (US$186,000 for goods plus US$30,000 freight) was correct and affirmed.
