Article 23. Carriage of baggage and freight-baggage

The carrier is obliged to accept baggage and freight-baggage from a passenger or sender and dispatch it to any railway station open for these operations.

A passenger's baggage is accepted according to the travel document (ticket), and a sender's freight-baggage is accepted according to a transportation document (freight-baggage receipt) without the presentation of a travel document (ticket).

The baggage and freight-baggage of a passenger (sender) are dispatched on the very first train that has a baggage car. In this case, the carrier is obliged to ensure the priority dispatch of the baggage and freight-baggage of the passenger (sender). Baggage and freight-baggage following the route indicated in the transportation documents (travel document, baggage, and freight-baggage receipts) must be dispatched on the train the passenger is traveling on or the very first train that includes a baggage car.

The passenger (sender) is entitled to declare the value of the baggage upon delivery and is obliged to declare the value of the freight-baggage upon delivery.

Items and objects that, by their dimensions, packaging, and properties, can be loaded and placed in a baggage car without difficulty and cannot cause damage to the carrier's property or the baggage and freight-baggage of other passengers (senders) are accepted for carriage in baggage and freight-baggage.
