NTSB & Montreal Convention Precedent Context

Under Section 22(3) of the Montreal Convention, air carriers maintain limited liability of approximately 22 to 25 Special Drawing Rights (SDR) per kilogram unless gross negligence or reckless misconduct is proven during NTSB investigation. In high-density smartphone transport where freight value often exceeds $80/kg, comprehensive third-party cargo underwriting absorbs the overwhelming majority of total net exposure, subsequently pursuing subrogation up to statutory carrier caps.
