Whether you are a manufacturer, importer/exporter, an International Freight Forwarder or a company which manages its own international transport, you will need cover for freight movement.
Cargo insurance encompasses the transportation of goods by sea, air, rail and road within and outside the UK.
Under the majority of freight contracts, the shipper must supply indemnities with regards to the following objectives:
• ownership of the goods
• duties and taxes
• claims made against the forwarder in excess of the liabilities provided for in the trading conditions
• the accuracy of the description of the goods
• any failure to warn (and the proper loading) of goods which may pollute other goods
• un-declared goods of a dangerous or detrimental nature. |
