Insurance
We fully recognize the importance of belongings and goods for the clients. Thus, we do whatever the best action could be by insuring the goods with some of the known and reliable insurance companies. Once there is insurance service in place, our clients feel comfort and condense after knowing that their goods are safe, secure and insured for packing and moving. Even after taking complete safety measures, no one has control over accident.
Types of Insurance –
There are three basic types of insurance :
All Risk Coverage
This is a comprehensive coverage, which includes everything that is not specially excluded. Typical exclusions are:
- Inherent vice – spoilage, infestation, failure of product to perform intended function, losses due todelay or loss of market
- Abandonment of cargo – losses occurring at a port city more than 15 days after discharge of cargo
- Rejection of goods by Customs, FDA or other government agencies
- Failure to pay or collect accounts
- Losses caused by temperature or air pressure in case of air shipments
- Used goods
- Improper packing
- Losses in excess of policy limit
Warehouse-to-warehouse Coverage
This type of coverage protects your shipment in transit from the time it leaves our warehouse until it arrives at its final destination point, as long as it is not taken out of the normal course of transit by you.
Coverage Enhancement
We can also arrange for special coverage depending upon your insurance needs. Here are some of the examples of special coverage :
- Trade show / exhibition coverage
- Rejection insurance
- Coverage other than C.I.F (e.g., FOB, FAS)
- Extended warehouse storage
- Large, project cargo moves
