Webinar: Marine Insurance - Often Overlooked, but Essential to the Success of Your Export Program
As North Dakota companies expand into global markets, the risks that can occur while products are in transport can grow more complex. Cargo insurance covers goods in transit (from point of origin) on waterways, land and air until they reach destination as per your terms of sale. Your prospect of receiving new orders on future international shipments may depend on how your company packs the shipment and the prompt payment of insurance claims in the event of loss. This webinar will provide you with some valuable insight on how to protect your interest on shipments until paid as well as the steps to deal effectively with claims at destination.
