Specialized International Cargo Insurance
Specialized Service Description: Specialized International Cargo Insurance
In today’s global trade landscape, where geopolitical tension and logistical volatility are constants, relying on standard “All Risks” insurance is often insufficient. High-value cargo, especially when traversing complex routes like the Middle Corridor or volatile maritime zones (e.g., Red Sea, Black Sea), requires specialized protection against risks typically excluded by conventional policies.
Exim Company acts as your expert risk manager, structuring and securing bespoke International Cargo Insurance policies that provide true End-to-End Asset Protection. We go beyond simple insurance brokerage by integrating our risk assessment (powered by AI and predictive analytics) directly into your policy structure, ensuring you are fully covered against all eventualities, from physical loss to non-delivery due to political upheaval or war.
Our Core International Insurance Services Include:
- Risk Assessment and Policy Structuring:
- Tailored Coverage: Analyzing your specific cargo (e.g., bulk Petrochemicals, delicate Industrial Components, or perishable Foodstuffs) and route profile to determine the exact level of physical and non-physical risk coverage required.
- Policy Negotiation: Negotiating with specialized international underwriters to secure the most comprehensive terms (Institute Cargo Clauses A, B, or C) at competitive rates.
- Specialized Geopolitical Risk Coverage:
- War and Strikes Risk (SRCC): Securing essential coverage against acts of war, terrorism, strikes, riots, and civil commotion—risks that are paramount in the regions we serve (CIS, Middle East).
- Political Instability Coverage: Policies designed to cover losses arising from seizure, detainment, or confiscation by foreign governments or sovereign entities.
- Documentation and Claim Management:
- Documentation Integrity: Ensuring all insurance documents perfectly align with the Bill of Lading, Commercial Invoice, and Incoterms, preventing any grounds for claim denial.
- Proactive Claim Management: In the event of loss or damage, our in-house experts manage the entire claim submission, follow-up, and settlement process, ensuring rapid and full compensation without administrative burden on your team.
- Integrated Financial Protection:
- Contingency Insurance: Advising on policies that cover potential financial losses due to delays, demurrage, or failure of a crucial logistical link (often linked to our Integrated Financial Transfer Solutions).

Client Q&A
01. Why can’t I just use my standard "All Risks" policy for trade through the Red Sea or the Black Sea?
Standard "All Risks" policies invariably exclude War, Terrorism, and Strikes, Riots, and Civil Commotion (SRCC) risks. These exclusions are precisely the threats prevalent in high-tension maritime zones. We secure specialist add-ons from the Lloyd's market or regional underwriters to ensure these specific, critical geopolitical risks are fully covered.
02.How does the declared value of the cargo affect my policy, and do you recommend insuring the profit as well?
We typically recommend insuring the total value, including the cost of goods (FOB/CFR/CIF), freight, and often an additional 10-15% to cover anticipated profit (CIF + 10%). This ensures that if the cargo is lost, your firm recovers both the investment and the expected revenue, maintaining your financial stability.
03. What specific logistical advantage does Exim Company offer for Eurasian-bound cargo compared to traditional forwarders?
We typically recommend insuring the total value, including the cost of goods (FOB/CFR/CIF), freight, and often an additional 10-15% to cover anticipated profit (CIF + 10%). This ensures that if the cargo is lost, your firm recovers both the investment and the expected revenue, maintaining your financial stability.
04. What information do you need from me to provide a quick and accurate insurance quote?
To provide a precise quote, we require three main details: 1) Detailed description of the cargo (HS Code), 2) Total insured value (FOB/CIF value), and 3) The exact route/ports of loading and discharge (e.g., Jebel Ali to Aktau). This allows us to accurately assess the risk profile and negotiate the best premium.
05. If I need to file a claim, will Exim Company manage the entire process for me, including dealing with the adjusters?
Yes, absolutely. Our service includes full claim advocacy and management. We compile the required documentation (survey reports, packing lists, B/Ls), liaise directly with the insurance adjusters, and ensure the claim is processed efficiently to maximize your payout and minimize the time your internal team spends on administrative tasks.
