Whether noted or concealed, damage MUST be reported to the
carrier immediately upon discovery, or in any event, within 14
days after receipt, and the contents and containers held for
inspection by the carrier. A transportation company will not pay a
claim for damage if an inspection is not requested within this 14
day period.
