Cargo Insurance
Covering the gap between standard liability and the full value of your goods, so you have peace of mind regardless of what happens during transportation
Damage, loss and theft can happen to cargo at any time and in any place during international transport. Freight forwarders have limited liability under international conventions, which means that they only pay compensation if you can establish that they were at fault for the damage or loss to the shipment. If you can prove fault, the compensation will be based on weight or package count, which may be much less than the actual value of your goods.
DHL Global Forwarding can arrange Cargo Insurance to cover your freight against loss or damage from any external cause to their full value.
