Why do we recommend to insure your products for exports, imports and US domestic shipments?
One of the best reasons is to reduce the exposure to financial loss. If you’re an exporter, importer or distributor you run the risk of suffering a financial loss if the goods are lost or damaged during transit. Logistics insurance are not expensive in comparison with product’s commercial value. In the event that the product is not insured, we can help to put a claim with the ocean line, airline or trucking company. In these cases, the liability of the carrier applies and in most of the cases, a claim might take several months and the reimbursement would be based on a maximum liability.
