Cargo Insurance

Freight Forwarders, Shipping Lines, Airlines, NVOCCs, Trucking and Railway companies and other transportation intermediates all have limited liability clauses in their terms and conditions if your cargo is lost or damaged in transit.

We therefore recommend all our customers to cover their cargo value with an insurance for any direct damage from door to door. APC is able to help you with this through its parentage with Nippon Express and its group companies. In most of the cases the cost of insurance is very low compared to the goods value. Please check if your insurance is covering all the supply chain steps including the delivery and devanning at destination so that your products are covered door to door without gaps.

It is important to remember that indirect damages such as delays, are not covered by any cargo insurance. A solution, in case the shipment is urgent, is to consider a higher service level that offers a higher reliability on transit time.
