What is Goods in Transit Insurance?
Goods in transit insurance covers property against loss or damage whilst it is in transit from one place to another or being stored during a journey. You can take this insurance out for goods being distributed in your own vehicle or by a third-party carrier. Policies often specify the means of transport to be used, which may include the postal service. Goods in transit insurance can be arranged to provide cover either in the UK or abroad, although certain restrictions may apply when goods are transported into certain European countries.
If you are shipping your goods by sea or air then you would take out marine cargo insurance. This also includes the transit of cargo over land at each end of the journey.
Isis goods in transit insurance cover includes:
A Goods in Transit insurance policy will protect you from:
As with other forms of insurance, a Goods in Transit policy is based upon an estimate of how much the goods are valued at. If the goods are new then this shouldn't be too much of a problem. Remember, Goods in Transit insurance does not protect you if you find the goods you have ordered or dispatched are inferior, below standard, or damaged through inappropriate packaging - this is not quality control.
Goods in Transit cover can be arranged for a “one off” shipment or on an annual carryings basis, where all of the goods shipped by the individual or company are covered under one Goods in Transit policy.
Level of risk
Also be aware that, like all insurance, the cost of Goods in Transit insurance depends on the level of risk. If your company has a record of losing goods then you are likely to find the premiums getting more expensive. If you do have such a record then consider taking measures to increase the level of your security.
