Extraordinary (High) Value Inventory
Document items of unusual value up front so coverage and liability are clear before the move.
High-value items, declared before they move.
The Extraordinary Value Inventory lets the shipper declare high-value items — art, jewelry, collectibles — so both sides agree on what is being transported and how liability applies to them.
Undeclared high-value items are a frequent source of oversized claims. This form caps that exposure and sets expectations.
Everything an auditor expects to see.

Undeclared valuables are your biggest single claim risk.
A signed high-value declaration prevents surprise six-figure claims and aligns coverage with what's actually in the truck.
When a dispute or a DOT review comes, the company with clean, consistent, compliant paperwork is the one that walks away clean. That's the whole point of MoverDocx.
Capping the exposure on the expensive stuff
Art, jewelry, collectibles, a watch collection in a sock drawer — the items that generate oversized claims are exactly the ones customers forget to mention. The Extraordinary Value Inventory forces that conversation before the move, in writing.
When the shipper declares high-value articles and their value, both sides agree on what is being transported and how liability applies. Undeclared, those same items become an open-ended argument if anything goes wrong.
This form is not about discouraging customers from moving valuables. It is about making sure a fine-art painting worth tens of thousands is not treated like a poster when a claim lands.
Extraordinary (High) Value Inventory — common questions
What counts as an extraordinary-value item?+
Typically anything of unusually high value per pound — fine art, jewelry, antiques, collectibles. Carriers commonly set a threshold above which items must be declared.
What happens if a valuable is not declared?+
Liability for undeclared high-value items is usually limited, and disputes over them get messy. Declaring up front protects both sides.
Does declaring it increase the cost?+
It sets expectations and may affect the valuation election, but the real value is avoiding an unbounded claim later.
