JAH Insurance is a cargo insurance broker based in Lima, specialized in transport policies for exporters, importers, customs brokers and logistics operators in the Peruvian market. Full cover, and partial and total loss, for multimodal operations. Insurance certificate issued in 1 minute.
A per-shipment policy or an annual policy that automatically covers every shipment in the period.
Certificate issued in less than 1 minute, ready for SUNAT, a letter of credit or local banks.
Advice based in Lima and an international track record on LATAM–U.S.–Europe corridors.
Why the carrier’s liability is not enough: The Hague-Visby Rules limit the carrier’s liability to fixed amounts per package or kilogram, far below the real value of the cargo. Cargo insurance closes that gap completely through door-to-door coverage.
All risks of external cause except express exclusions. Partial and total damage.
Automatic coverage for every shipment in the period, without declaring each one.
Mining companies and suppliers to the sector. Mining accounts for more than 60% of Peruvian exports. Routes from mining units in the highlands to the ports of Callao, Matarani or Ilo involve geographically high-risk routes.
Peruvian agricultural exporters. Peru is the world’s leading exporter of asparagus and blueberries, among other products. Frequent shipments, perishable cargo and high-exposure routes make cargo insurance an operational necessity. JAH issues insurance certificates with temperature coverage for global routes.
Importers of machinery, electronics and supplies. Coverage from the warehouse of origin through delivery at destination in Peru, including the leg from the port to the final warehouse, in one policy.
Customs brokers and logistics operators. JAH issues certificates with the correct name of the insured and the scope SUNAT requires.

Clear answers on cargo insurance, annual policies and operations in Peru.
Not in every case; it is a frequent practice, however: on operations with a bank letter of credit, on shipments under special SUNAT customs regimes, and on sales contracts under Incoterms CIF or CIP where the seller has a contractual obligation to take out the insurance. In every other case, the need comes from the financial risk of not having it.
An annual policy is a contract that automatically covers every shipment that meets the agreed conditions during the policy period. It suits high-frequency exports or imports.
