{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"DefinedTerm","name":"International Air Freight Shipment Insurance","description":"International air freight insurance is a cargo insurance policy covering loss or damage to goods throughout the cross-border air transport chain, from origin pickup to final delivery. Covered perils typically include total loss, theft, mishandling damage, and temperature or moisture-related harm. The need for dedicated cover stems from the Montreal Convention's cap on airline liability, which is fixed at a set amount per kilogram – well below the actual value of most high-value shipments.
