Before insuring your goods, make sure that they are approved for transport by the carrier. AXA Insurance follows the carriers’ conditions regarding which goods you can insure.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n\n

The maximum insurable amount<\/strong> when booking a shipment on Expedismart is CHF 100,000, which is double the usual coverage of CHF 50,000.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

\n\n

Furthermore, it is possible to insure the shipment of artwork or valuable materials<\/strong> for a maximum amount of CHF 25,000.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

\n\n

In addition, it is possible on Expedismart to insure a document shipment<\/strong>, up to a maximum amount of CHF 5,000. Please note that the sum insured corresponds to the replacement value, so that no economic loss is incurred in the event of a possible delay or loss of a document.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

\n\n

The\u00a0cost of the AXA insurance is 1% of the value declared<\/strong>\u00a0at the time of booking, with a minimum of CHF 10. For example, if the value of your goods is CHF 2,000, the cost of the insurance is CHF 20. <\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n

How to insure a parcel? 
Opting for transport insurance<\/mark><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n

Although cargo insurance is not mandatory, it is strongly recommended to better protect parcels and goods against risks.<\/strong> When importing and exporting goods, companies make an investment every time a package is shipped. To minimise the risks, these investments need to be protected with cargo insurance.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n\n

For private individuals<\/strong>, taking out insurance provides security during the transport of the package. This insurance covers all or part of the loss and\/or damage to the parcel during transport between the point of origin and the final destination. On Expedismart you can take out transport insurance with AXA<\/strong>, regardless of the parcel shipping partner of your choice (FedEx, UPS, TNT).<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n

Furthermore, objects and goods that have suffered the same incident may be damaged to different degrees. To prevent all eventualities, goods-in-transit insurance is highly recommended as it offers several advantages:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
