Protect your investment

The DHL Global Forwarding cargo insurance programme offers cover for the risk of physical loss or damage to your cargo. We arrange cover for ocean, air and ground transportation as well as warehousing and industrial projects.

Why is cargo insurance so important? In the transportation industry, it is standard trade practice for carriers to limit their liability in the event of loss or damage. Under certain circumstances it may be excluded altogether.

Weight or package count is the basis on which carriers typically limit liability for shipments. This means that, should your cargo be lost or damaged, carrier liability may bear little or no relationship to the actual value of your shipment.

Cargo insurance will protect your investment by guaranteeing the replacement value of your goods in the event of loss or damage, while giving you control over the cost, cover and type of service.
