Frequently asked questions about International Cargo Insurance

Does international freight automatically include insurance?

No. Carrier liability is strictly limited under international maritime/air conventions. Dedicated cargo insurance is essential for full-value protection.

What is General Average and why is insurance mandatory?

General Average is a maritime rule where all cargo owners share the salvage costs if a vessel faces an emergency. Without insurance, you must pay cash deposits to release your containers.

Does door-to-door coverage include final inland drayage?

Yes. Door-to-door terms protect cargo continuously from the overseas factory through ocean/air transit to final warehouse delivery in Brazil.
