1. The carrier shall not be held accountable for any loss in weight or volume that usually occurs to the item during the carriage process due to its nature, unless it is proved that such a loss has resulted from any other cause. 2. Where the bill of lading covers several items divided into groups or parcels, the tolerable loss of weight shall be determined on basis of the weight of each group or parcel in case such a weight is, or could have been, specified separately in the bill of lading.
