1.Arranging Insurance
Under CIF or CIP terms,the exporter insures the goods before shipment at his own expenses.The insurance company will issue an insurance policy or certificate if they accept the application. One consignment under different contract numbers or covered by different credits should beinsured separately under different policy numbers.
For other trade terms like CFR and FOB, the seller needs to provide shipping advice to the buyer as soon as it is available in order to enable the buyer to effect insurance before shipment.
When dealing with cargo insurance on import and export goods, the insured should often ascertain insurance amount, make an application, pay the insurance premium, obtain an insurance document and lodge a claim at the time of loss, etc.
