Don’t Leave Anything to Chance, Protect Your Shipments
By sea, air, rail, or road, DocShipper U.K. provides dedicated freight insurance to protect your cargo against damage, theft, or loss.
Tailored Cargo Insurance for Every Shipment from/to the UK
Our freight insurance is designed to protect all types of goods moved through our transport services, whether you are importing into the U.K. or exporting abroad.
Unlike the limited coverage imposed by international conventions, CMR for road, Hague-Visby for sea, and Warsaw Convention for air, our AD Valorem insurance protects the full declared value of your goods, as stated on the commercial invoice.
With DocShipper U.K., you benefit from protection that goes far beyond carrier liability. Coverage includes damage during handling, loading, or unloading, weather risks and natural events during transit, and theft or non-delivery during storage or transport. This significantly reduces the financial risks that unexpected events can create for your business.
Complete Support in Case of Claims
In the event of damage or loss, we act as your coordinator with insurers and carriers. Our team collects and submits all required documents, monitors the claims process from start to finish, and keeps you informed until reimbursement is complete. This saves you time, minimises disputes, and ensures that compensation is paid without unnecessary delays.
Why Is AD Valorem Insurance Important?
International shipments face risks at every stage. Breakage can occur during loading, unloading, or handling. Theft remains a concern during inland transport or warehousing. Weather events and extreme conditions can damage cargo at sea or in transit. Customs inspections or delays, particularly since Brexit, may also expose goods to higher risks.
While basic carrier liability is extremely limited, AD Valorem coverage guarantees reimbursement of the true value of your cargo, not just a nominal sum. This makes it the most reliable safeguard for businesses moving goods across borders.
Integrated with Our Transport Services
DocShipper U.K.’s freight insurance is not a standalone product. It is offered as an add-on to our transport solutions, whether sea freight, air freight, road transport, or even rail freight from China to the U.K.
