With GUZAL CARGO EXPRESSair, marine and truck insurance, you will have peace of mind knowing that, in an unfortunate event, your investment will be fully protected from the moment your cargo arrives in our hands until it reaches its final destination.

When working with us, the guarantee will be the satisfaction of a safe shipment, no matter what happens..

Cargo insurance protects the shipper’s products (toys, tractors, electronics, etc.) against loss and damage during international and domestic transportation. Cargo insurance is not required. If you choose not to insure separately, there is a minimum international coverage established by the Warsaw Convention in 1929. It is $20/kg for domestic or international air cargo, and ocean cargo coverage is $500 per BL (Bill of Lading).

If the value of your shipment exceeds the standard cargo liability limit, we recommend additional coverage to protect your entire investment.

Diamonds, gold and cash cannot be insured under a standard cargo insurance policy. There are specialized insurers that can insure these products, but these are separate policies. Loss of life and acts of God are not insured.

It depends, what is the cargo, where is it going, what is the insurance company? Cargo insurers have parameters just like home, auto, etc. insurers.

There are limits. The maximum cargo insurance (also called Shipper’s Interest or All Risks coverage) is 110% of the CIF Value (Commercial Invoice Value + Insurance + Freight) and will pay the full value OF THE GOODS THAT ARE LOST OR DAMAGED.

Your existing commercial insurance policy may cover you in full for all damage to the shipping property, or it may cover up to a certain amount. It is up to the shipper to know the limits of all their policies. IF YOU ALREADY HAVE SOME SHIPPING INSURANCE on your commercial policy, there is no reason to pay twice. Likewise, there is NO REASON to underinsure. A loss is a loss.

The insurance agent and the insurance company can make a difference in the same way that auto and home insurance companies can vary.
