Overview

Different clauses are available depending on the type of Coverage required ranging from ALL RISKS cover to a restricted Total loss only cover.

Transportation of goods is classified into three categories.

  1. Inland Transport
  2. Import
  3. Export

Various policies can be offered as follows:

Specific Voyage – to Cover only a specific single trip. The cover ends when goods reach destination.
Open Cover Policy – An open cover policy is an agreement whereby the insurer will accept insurance of all shipments made by the assured, within the terms of the cover for a fixed period. As the above is not a policy Certificates of Insurance are issued against the declaration made by the assured.
The open cover is of great convenience to the client engaged in regular import/export trade.

In FOB and C&F the seller is responsible to buy insurance. In CIF, the seller is responsible for insurance.
