The website is a platform that offers international shipping services by utilizing LCL freight from well-known U.S. carriers. Above is the real-time freight calculator for shipping cargo in boxes, crates, and pallets.
However, you may consider buying maritime cargo insurance and obtaining an insurance certificate for your international shipment for extra protection.
You can insure your shipment with any insurance provider that covers cargo shipping overseas. Otherwise, you can request that we obtain an insurance certificate for your internationally shipping goods on your behalf through our online freight calculator.
If you select this option, the coverage cost will be added to your total shipping cost. When your goods depart the U.S., you will receive your insurance certificate along with our final invoice.
Consider Marine Cargo Insurance options while shipping goods from the USA overseas.
The 'All-risk' policy for shipping cargo from the USA covers any possible loss or damage to your international shipment during cargo transportation, such as fire, water damage, theft, partial loss, breakage, etc. It is the most encompassing coverage available in the international cargo transportation industry.
The 'Total loss' only applies to complete losses. That means you can get a premium only if your entire shipment is lost or destroyed. It does not cover partial loss or damage.
Unless stated in your insurance certificate, by default, such certificates obtained on the shipper's behalf are under the 'All risk' policy. However, THE 'ALL RISK' POLICY APPLIES TO SHIP PROFESSIONALLY PACKED GOODS ONLY.
Please remember, 'All risk' policies apply to goods shipping from the USA in the original manufacturers' packaging or professionally packed by certified parties that can provide proof of the professional packing. Certain conditions* may apply. IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND!: NOT PROFESSIONALLY PACKED GOODS TURN AN 'ALL RISK' POLICY INTO A 'TOTAL LOSS' POLICY.
