Cargo insurance from China - full protection of deliveries at every stage
Why do you need cargo insurance?
International shipping always involves risks: damage, loss of partial goods, packaging errors, or unforeseen events en route.
Insurance provides financial protection for the shipment, covering losses and force majeure.
What does cargo insurance provide:
- Protection against losses due to damage
- Coverage for losses and force majeure
- Confidence for large shipments
- Secure investment in goods
Forward Union insures cargo through accredited Chinese insurance companies, with official coverage and support.
What risks does insurance cover?
- damage to goods during transportation
- loss of part of the cargo
- theft, loss, opening
- supplier or packaging errors
- fire, flood, and other force majeure events
- accidents on cars, ships, trains, or planes
- delays resulting in damage
Why insurance is financial protection for businesses
- protects working capital
- reduces losses from damaged goods
- minimizes risks for large shipments
- ensures delivery costs even during disruptions
- critically important for marketplaces, brands, and OEM/ODM
Advantages of Insurance through Chinese Insurance Companies
- Official registration within China
- International accreditation and high level of trust
- Coverage of all stages of the route: warehouse → China → border → customer’s country
- Transparent payment terms

Typical Mistakes Companies Make Without Insurance
- Pay for losses out of their own pocket
- Count on the carrier’s liability (it covers almost nothing)
