Passage One Whe

43、n shipping to a foreign market , cargo insurance is strongly recommended .It is essential if the terms of sale require the exporter to arrange for insurance , for example a C.I.F contract （cost, insurance, freight）.In any event , the cost of cargo insurance is nominal in most cases ,amounting to les

44、s than 1% of the value of the shipment and the freight bill With the proper insurance policy , exporters can recover losses if their shipments are accidentally lost , stolen ,damage or delayed ,although the extent of recovery will depend on the type of insurance purchased . Without insurance ,an exp

45、orter could have norecourse .Unfortunately ,insurance dose not cover the possible loss of a customer ,who may shift to another source of supply because the goods ordered do not arrive in a usable condition or are late arriving . When buying insurance ,the exporters should consider several things , s

46、uch as the amount of coverage （all risks or limited）,time of year , route and destination port（the North Atlantic during the winter months can be dangerous; some ports can have higher than usual rates of pilferage）, the loss and damage record of competing carriers , and cargo stowage and packing . I

47、nsurance should be looked at as part of the total rate and service package that the carrier（or forwarder）offers , so dont look at insurance in isolation . Even though a carrier may not have any record of mistake , there is always an element of risk and exporters should protect themselves against thi

48、s risk . Moreover , insurance coverage is part of a carriers marketing strategy . It is more than likely that cost , coverage and the number of loss and damage liaims will vary from carrier to carrier , so the exporter should ask several and compare , what it charges for insurance , what the insuran

49、ce covers , the deductible（if any）and how claims are handled . This suggests that the first step in insurance selection is to ask the carrier ahout its loss and damage record . Ask other exporters if they have any record on a particular carrier .Before exporting, make sure that the terms of sale spe

50、cify who is responsible for arranging insurance. For example, an exporter selling“C.I.F.” will be responsible for arranging and paying for fringt insurance.Insurance can be arranged directly with a carrier,an insurer,an insurance broker or agent or through a freight forwarder or customs broker. Whet

51、her you purchase from a carrier or a third party, make sure that the insurance purchased covers the entire journey, that is from the time it leaves your plant or warehouse until it is in the importers warehouse. In some instances, a carrier will provide coverage only while it is handing the shipment
