What kind of insurance do you need for shipping merchandise overseas?

Question

shipping circuit boards from alabama to vitenam. (hypothetically...this is for class project)

Answer 1

NONE is absolutely REQUIRED.  If you want coverage in case they get tossed overboard, you'll need Ocean Marine coverage.

Answer 2

fedex receipt

Answer 3

You will need a Transportation Policy. A transportation policy will cover the circuit boards during all forms of transportation until the goods are transferred to the buyer. this type of policy is broadly classified as an "ocean marine" type of coverage but in addition to covering the goods while on the ocean the policy also covers the goods while on a truck, a plane or a train. During the journey your circuit boards might go by any of these modes of transportation.

Answer 4

You would also need product liability insurance to cover you incase your circuit boards cause property damage or bodily injury to someone in Vietnam.
