Through bills of lading and similar documents.

400.7-302. (1) The issuer of a through bill of lading or other document

embodying an undertaking to be performed in part by persons acting as its

agents or by connecting carriers is liable to anyone entitled to recover on

the document for any breach by such other persons or by a connecting carrier

of its obligation under the document but to the extent that the bill covers an

undertaking to be performed overseas or in territory not contiguous to the

continental United States or an undertaking including matters other than

transportation this liability may be varied by agreement of the parties.



(2) Where goods covered by a through bill of lading or other document

embodying an undertaking to be performed in part by persons other than the

issuer are received by any such person, he is subject with respect to his own

performance while the goods are in his possession to the obligation of the

issuer. His obligation is discharged by delivery of the goods to another

such person pursuant to the document, and does not include liability for

breach by any other such persons or by the issuer.



(3) The issuer of such through bill of lading or other document shall be

entitled to recover from the connecting carrier or such other person in

possession of the goods when the breach of the obligation under the document

occurred, the amount it may be required to pay to anyone entitled to recover

on the document therefor, as may be evidenced by any receipt, judgment, or

transcript thereof, and the amount of any expense reasonably incurred by it

in defending any action brought by anyone entitled to recover on the document

therefor.
