Insurance

We strongly recommend that you take insurance on your cargo.
While we take the greatest care during transportation, the reality is that your cargo may pass through many hands and travel hundreds or thousands of miles enduring unpredictable oceans, turbulent skies and bumpy roads.

Even the best packaging may not protect your items from accidental damage or loss and having insurance to cover repair or replacement will offer you peace of mind during transit.

Here are a few tips to help you find the right freight forwarding insurance for you:

Be clear about your requirements to ensure you get an accurate quote — the insurance company will want to know the specifications of your cargo, where it is travelling from and to, what mode of transport is being used and relevant regulatory and customs requirements.
Check the inclusions and exclusions of the policy — read the small print to see exactly what is included (and more importantly in what situations you aren’t covered) and consider paying extra to ensure more comprehensive cover.

Understand the limits of replacement value should your items be damaged beyond repair or get lost in transit.
Know whether you have any liability if damage occurs to other property as a result of your items not being packaged correctly.
Understand in what situations your insurance will be voided so you can ensure you comply with their requirements.
Use a credible insurance company — confirm the company you are with is legitimate, read reviews and beware of frauds.
