Overseas Moving Insurance and Compensation
Overseas moving insurance
- We put our heart in delivering our customer’s cargo safely to the destination. Because a move abroad is a long-distance transport and uses several stages of transportation, a customer is advised to subscribe to transport insurance, at their own discretion. Such an insurance can provide against destruction, damage, and loss incurred during transport for a move abroad. The company treats insurance for customers against possible destruction or loss of important items. However, insurance isn’t available for valuables, currency, and securities.
- Coverage
It covers the shipment from the current residence (or product storage location) of the delivery to the new residence abroad. The loss or damage must be reported within a week of the delivery. In case cargo is put into storage for over 30 days for customer reasons, it covers until the delivery of cargo to the storage.
Losses not payable by the insurance
- Deliberate and/or grave negligence committed by the cargo owner.
- Natural wear, fungi, rust, discoloring, degeneration, and corruption.
- Any loss caused by bad packaging done by the customer.
- Also, loss caused by a delay in transport.
- Minor scratch or damage to interior or engine (of a vehicle). ( 차량)
- The insurance doesn’t cover electrical and mechanical errors of precision machines like a computer. However, if the loss is clearly caused by an external shock during transport alone, it is covered.
- Loss or destruction of the data saved in the hard disk is not covered by the insurance, so please back it up and carry with you the backup media.
- Also, the loss of musical instruments related to a disturbing scale caused by an external shock is not covered by the insurance.
Compensation Procedure
Confirm whether there are any broken or missing items by referring to the packing list when taking over the cargo. If there’s a broken article, confirm with the site supervisor and take a picture of the article; then, fill out a letter and accident occurrence notice attaching evident materials (photos, repair estimate, etc.) to us, and we will quickly proceed with the compensation procedure.
If the delay of accident occurrence notice causes some difficulty in proving the reason of damage, or if the cargo remains damaged and is deteriorated more, the insured person may be at a disadvantage (after arrival at the destination country, within up to 30 days from delivery completion).
Submittals for Insurance Claim
– original copy of the insurance policy
– bill of lading
