ups declared value

ups declared value UPS declared value is the amount a shipper states as the package’s value, which determines the carrier’s maximum liability for loss or damage. UPS automatically includes $100 of liability coverage, and higher declared values incur additional fees. Declared value is not insurance but provides limited compensation if the item is lost or damaged in transit. For valuable shipments, customers can purchase additional insurance or use third-party coverage to ensure full protection based on shipment worth.
