Cargo Insurance
What are the primary causes of shipment loss?
- Adverse weather conditions
- Equipment failure
- Global conflict zones
While proper crating and packing contribute to secure shipments, unforeseen events can still arise. This underscores the importance of having Cargo Insurance. In the realm of international trade, the legal liability of carriers—such as freight forwarders, airlines, and shipping companies—is restricted. As a result, the compensation offered may fall significantly short of the actual loss incurred. Additionally, various conventions may impose further limitations through specific exclusions of liability.
With cargo insurance in place, if a shipment is either damaged or lost, the insured party will receive prompt compensation equivalent to the full replacement value of the goods.
Forms
To facilitate any import or export you will need at least a commercial invoice, packing list, and a Bill of Lading (or Airway Bill). However, additional forms may also be required based on various factors. JAM nternational, Inc. is here to guide you in identifying the necessary forms and the appropriate timing for their completion, tailored to your specific import needs.
Key considerations for importers include the type of commodity, its value, and the frequency of imports, all of which are essential when bringing goods into the United States. An experienced customs broker will be adept at completing an ISF, ensuring accurate 1C entries, and managing continuous or single entry bonds, among other essential requirements.
If you require assistance with customs clearance, please reach out to us. We are eager to support you and your import/export needs. Should your current customs broker fail to meet your expectations or keep you informed, do not hesitate to contact us. We can facilitate the clearance of goods with reverse logistics to the US from any location worldwide.
