Transit insurance, moving insurance, shipping insurance.

Insurers rarely take over ownership of cargo which is lost or damaged. Cargo remains the property of either the exporter or the importer, depending on the terms of the commercial contract of sale.

If you are going to submit an insurance claim, you have an obligation to minimise any financial loss that arises from loss or damage to your property. If you do not do this, you may be prejudicing your insurance claim.
