Frequently asked questions

Clear answers on cargo insurance, Incoterms and claims in Spain.

Cargo insurance is not mandatory as a general rule. Under Incoterms® CIF and CIP, however, the seller must take out the insurance coverage required.

The carrier's insurance covers its liability, subject to legal limits — Law 15/2009 for domestic road transport and the CMR for international transport. Your own cargo insurance protects the goods directly according to their insured value and the policy conditions, without being limited by the carrier's liability caps.

Before you move or repair the damaged cargo, notify JAH of the incident. We place a reservation of rights with the carrier, coordinate the survey with the insurer and stay with the file through to indemnity. Notice can be given by WhatsApp and email.
