Service overview
A practical choice starts with the cargo—not the service name
Carrier liability is limited and is not the same as cargo insurance. Optional insurance can reduce financial exposure, but coverage, exclusions, deductibles, evidence and claim deadlines must be understood before booking.

Questions to settle before booking
Final answers depend on the shipment and written quotation.
01Is freight insurance automatically included?+
No. Cargo insurance is optional unless the quotation specifically includes an approved policy.
02Is carrier liability enough?+
Carrier liability is normally limited by transport rules and may not reflect the commercial value of the goods.
03What is needed for a claim?+
Requirements vary, but prompt notice, invoices, packing evidence, transport records, damage photos and survey documents are commonly important.
