Your Key Takeaways

Key Takeaway_1

Cargo insurance isn’t just a nice-to-have. It’s a primary defense against incidents and loss that could otherwise tank your bottom line.

Key Takeaway_2

Carriers are unlikely to cover the full value of goods when an incident occurs. Your company’s general insurance may not cover you, either.

Key Takeaway_3

You can buy cargo insurance from your freight forwarder to fit policies more closely to the value of goods and gain cost efficiency.
