Did you realize that in the event your cargo is lost, damaged or destroyed in transit, you are very often only eligible for:

$20‑ per kilogram in the case of air freight?

            $500‑ per package in the case of ocean freight?

This comes as a rude surprise to many shippers, especially as they do not realize this matter until an unfortunate, calamity befalls their cargo.

Take, for example, the following scenario: Your cargo is in a container aboard an oceangoing vessel.  The vessel hits rough seas and in order to save the rest of the ship, the captain chooses to jettison the container carrying your cargo.  This is called general average.  In this situation, everyone else who has cargo on the boat must pay a portion of the loss.  The carrier in this situation would be held harmless because the attitude attached to maritime admiralty laws is that if the cargo wasn't given to the carrier in the first place, they wouldn't have had a problem.  Where does this leave you without insurance?  Probably only able to collect the proscribed $500‑ for the container.  Where does this leave everyone else on the vessel?  If they have insurance, their insurance carrier will post bond to cover the expected loss.  Anyone else without insurance would be expected to post a cash bond to get their cargo released.
