CSA offers 2 forms of coverage for your goods in transit, standard cargo insurance and an upgraded "all-risk" cargo policy.


Standard Cargo Insurance

Coverage is calculated based on the lesser of:

$2.00/lb calculated on the weight of the missing or damaged pieces of the shipment,

OR the value (replacement cost) of the goods at the place and time of shipment, including the freight and other charges if paid;

limited to a claim of $50 or more.


Upgraded Cargo Insurance

With CSA, adding an upgraded policy with all-risk cargo coverage is easy and cost-effective. All you need to do is declare the full value of your goods at the time of booking the shipment, and the following All-risk insurance coverage will override CSA's Standard Cargo insurance above.

A premium is assessed on an individual shipment basis and is subject to the terms and conditions listed under the MARINE INLAND LEGAL CARGO INSURANCE policy below.
