Declaring goods value and clarifying cover in advance

Plan your transport

State a traceable value per package or for the whole shipment, such as replacement or production value, and say what it is based on. State the cover you require separately and clarify its scope and conditions before placing the order. Record the agreed scope in writing.

Goods value and agreed cover

The goods value describes the value of your shipment; it does not by itself establish which risks or amounts are covered. State the value and the cover you require separately, and clarify the scope and conditions before placing the order.

How to clarify cover

First: put a figure on the shipment’s value. Second: state the cover you require separately. Third: clarify its scope and conditions, including any packaging or documentation requirements. Record the agreed scope in writing before the order is placed.

Value and confidentiality

The value of goods is sensitive information. It is used for planning and for clarifying cover and does not need to appear on the packaging or delivery note. For confidential shipments, value and contents can be communicated separately from the transport documents.

What matters

State the value with the basis of valuation
Clarify the scope and conditions of the cover you require
Raise any wish for additional cover before ordering

Good to know

Plan your transport

Are my goods automatically fully covered during transport?

No, not automatically. The goods value alone does not establish the scope of cover. State the value and clarify the cover you require separately before placing the order. Record the agreed scope and conditions in writing.

Transport solutions

01

Compare quotes for specialist transport transparently

Two quotes for the same transport, two very different prices – often the difference lies not in the price but in the assumptions. Quotes are only comparable if they are based on the same shipment, the same dates and the same handover point. We therefore itemise our scope of services so that you can compare it line by line.

02

Record irregularities at receipt objectively

A dented crate corner, a missing package, a tipped label: if you notice something on acceptance, an immediate, factual note matters most. It records what was visible at the moment of handover – without judging causes – and is the basis for any later clarification.

03

Plan confidential shipments with minimal disclosure

An unreleased product, a camouflaged component or a sample from a live project: the fewer people who know what is in the crate, the better. We plan confidential shipments under a neutral reference with only the details that are genuinely needed for handling and delivery – as a direct run if you wish, so the shipment does not pass through third-party hubs.
