Dear Customer
We thank you for selecting William B Skinner Inc for your company's Customs Brokerage needs. We pride ourselves in our commitment to professionally handle your shipment and will do everything within our power to make sure your shipment is delivered in perfect condition.
You should be aware, however, that circumstances outside of our control could damage your shipment while in transit. We, therefore, recommend you purchase All Risk Cargo insurance to cover your shipment while in transit.
Your shipment should be insured for its full CIF value, Cost of Goods ˇV Insurance ˇV Freight, plus 10%; this will insure that your companyˇ¦s total financial exposure is covered against any physical loss or damage during transit.
Please note that all transportation carriers limit their liability to amounts that simply wonˇ¦t cover the full financial exposures involved with your shipment. For example:
---Domestic transportation carriers limit can be as low as .50 Cents per lb.
---International Air carriers limit is $20.00 per Kilo
---International Ocean carriers limit is $500 per shipping unit
In certain circumstances these carriers could have no liability to your shipment at all. For example:
---The delivery receipt was signed clean.
---The loss was a result of an Act of God or a strike or riot.
William B Skinner Inc is pleased to confirm we can provide ˇ§All Riskˇ¨ Cargo Coverage. Highlights of our insurance program are:
---All Risk Cargo Coverage
