At Prime Cargo, we take the security of your shipments seriously – especially when it comes to high-value goods.

For any items valued over £1,000, we require additional insurance to ensure peace of mind for both parties.

What We Class as High-Value Goods

• Any item or shipment with a declared value above £1,000
• Applies to goods such as electronics, designer fashion, medical equipment, car parts, machinery, and luxury items

Insurance Charges

Declared Value of Goods                         Insurance Rate

£1,000 – £4,999                                          3% of item value

£5,000 and above                                       5% of item value

Examples:

 

• Shipping a laptop worth £1,500? The insurance fee will be £45 (3%).
• Shipping goods worth £6,000? The insurance will be £300 (5%).

Why We Require This

Due to the risks associated with both air and sea freight, Prime Cargo cannot accept liability for loss or damage to high‑value goods unless insurance is in place. This policy ensures:

• Your cargo is protected throughout its journey – from collection to delivery
• Any loss or damage is fully covered by our insurer
• All parties have clear expectations and peace of mind
