What Freight Forwarder coverage includes
Freight forwarders take on carrier-level liability on their house bills, so underwriters look at your terms and conditions, modes of transport and the cargo you handle.
- Forwarders legal liability - Your liability for cargo under your house bills.
- Forwarders E&O - Errors in documents, customs entries and instructions.
- Contingent cargo - Loss when the underlying carrier cannot or will not pay.
- General average - Your share of general average and salvage charges.
- Fines and penalties - Customs and regulatory fines where insurable.
Good to know: standard trading conditions that limit your liability per kilo or per package, and that every customer has accepted, save premium and claims.
Not covered: loss caused by delay unless endorsed, uninsured cargo where you acted only as agent, and sanctioned countries on most policies.
