Useful information

For the successful operation of insurance, it is important to understand its scope and limitations.

Steps to take when transferring cargo

– Make sure that all documents accompanying the goods, such as delivery notes and invoices, are present and correct.

– Check the external condition of the cargo and packaging and ensure that it is ready for safe transport.

– Make sure the goods are properly secured and securely placed.

– Check if there are special requirements for the cargo or transport, such as temperature control.

– Check the condition of the cargo compartment seals. In the case of transports with temperature control, make sure that the cargo space is clean, dry, free of extraneous odours, and at the required temperature.

– If the carrier discovers defects while checking the goods, they must be noted in writing on the CMR consignment note or in the goods documents. If possible, photograph the defects.

– Please follow the shipper’s shipping instructions.

– Do not leave the cargo unattended! Know that sleeping in the cabin does not count as guarding the cargo. Park the vehicle in a guarded car park for the resting period.
