DHL Cargo Insurance

Are you fully covered?

Should something go wrong when you’re shipping cargo, the compensation to which you’re entitled is normally calculated against a ‘limited liability clause'.

Under limited liability, damaged or lost cargo is assessed by weight, not value. So in all likelihood, your compensation could be dramatically less than the commercial value of the goods.

What’s the simple solution?

Ship with DHL. For a competitive premium, DHL CARGO INSURANCE will cover your freight against physical loss or damage whilst in our care.
