Goods in Transit

Goods in transit is either an annual cover where premium is based on the value of goods in transit, at the insured’s risk, during the policy period. Or it can be a single transit cover. It is the simplest and most convenient way to cover the insured’s inland transit risks.

• wide transit cover – from when goods are first moved for transit until last moved at destination
• debris removal up to the designated sub-limit
• delayed unpacking – discovery of transit damage up to 90 days after delivery
• no disposal or sale of branded goods without insured’s consent
• cover for goods to and from packers’ premises and for up to one month while goods are held there
• companies acquired included under policy.
