Transit International - General Cargo
This policy insures fragile cargo being moved worldwide provided that New Zealand or island nations of the South Pacific are the source or destination of transit. Transits between island nations of the South Pacific are also insured.
Non fragile cargo can be insured by selecting that option on the Transit International general cargo quote page.
Do not use the General Cargo policy to insure household goods and personal effects, motor vehicles, motorcycles, caravans, boats and/or boat trailers, or personal watercraft. The Transit International Household Goods policy should be used. Also, temperature sensitive cargo is to be insured under the Transit International fresh, chilled and frozen product policy.
Definition of fragile:
Cargo which is highly susceptible to transit damage eg. glass, bottles of liquid, ceramic tiles, pottery etc. If in doubt, please ask by emailing info@ezimove.com
Computers, PCs and monitors are not regarded as fragile – select non fragile cover for these.
