International Logistics international freight forwarders liability insurance The basic elements of liability insurance

1 Scope

China's national standard for the basic elements of international freight forwarding legal liability insurance. It specifies the elements of the policy that covers the liability a freight forwarder incurs acting as a forwarder - the insured, the scope of cover, the liabilities covered and excluded, the limits, the deductibles, the period and the claims arrangements. This is the companion to the bill of lading liability standard, and the distinction between the two is the distinction between two different businesses carried on by the same company. When a forwarder issues its own transport document it has contracted as a carrier, and the liability that follows is a carrier's liability for the goods. When it acts as a forwarder it has contracted to arrange carriage, and its liability is for its own failures in doing so: booking the wrong vessel, mis-declaring dangerous goods, failing to give a notice, choosing a carrier negligently, losing documents, giving wrong advice on customs or on packing, or delivering against the wrong instructions. Those are professional liabilities rather than cargo liabilities, and they behave differently. The amounts are unpredictable, because the loss is the consequence of an error rather than the value of a container; a single missed declaration can strand a shipment or attract a customs penalty far larger than the freight. The claims are frequently about pure economic loss with no damaged goods at all. And the defence costs are a large part of the exposure. So a policy for this liability is constructed differently from a cargo one, and setting out its basic elements nationally lets a shipper, an insurer and a forwarder describe the same cover in the same terms. Issued on 5 November 2012 and in force since 1 December 2012.
