Section 3300.70  Transportation Requirements

a)         Borrowed artifacts will be packed for return in exactly the same manner as received; the same cases, packages, pads, wrappings and other furnishings must be used unless changes are authorized by the DMAIL prior to shipment (e.g., original packing materials destroyed).

b)         Artifacts shall be returned by the same mode of transportation as received unless changes are approved by the DMAIL prior to shipment.  In deciding whether to approve a change, the DMAIL will consider such factors as artifact's packing, the fragility of the artifact, and the safety and security offered by the proposed mode of transportation.

c)         All special packing requirements (e.g., a specially built crate) and transportation costs will be paid by the borrower.

d)         The DMAIL will require that fragile artifacts which would be damaged during shipment or high value artifacts (e.g., insured valued of $5000 or more) will be personally delivered to the borrower and returned to the DMAIL by DMAIL personnel; borrower will pay all expenses.
