Damage Shipping By Trucker
Your freight may not always be loss-proof. In fact, there are a shocking amount of containers lost at sea each year. The good news is that by insuring your goods, you can guard against possible losses that can occur during air, sea, and rail shipments. All too frequently, shippers are unaware of their liability in the event that their products are lost. Additionally, the numerous laws and guidelines pertaining to the subject may add to the difficulty.
Note: Final ruling by U.S. customs/agencies for ISF filing (part 1-2) is 6 years and for customs entry filing (part 2-2) is 5 years.
