GOODS IN TRANSIT INSURANCE

Goods in Transit Insurance (GIT) is a type of insurance
that protects goods during transportation from one location
to another. This coverage is essential for businesses
involved in shipping products, as it provides financial
protection against losses or damages that may occur while
the goods are in transit.

Goods in Transit policies typically cover losses or
damages caused by:
Accidents: Collisions, overturns, or other accidents
involving the vehicle transporting the goods.
Theft: The theft of the goods or individual items
from the vehicle.
Fire: Damage caused by a fire while the goods are in transit.
Natural disasters: Losses resulting from natural events
such as floods, earthquakes, or storms.
Loading and unloading: Damage that occurs during the
loading or unloading process.

There are generally two main types of GIT coverage:
All-risk: This provides the broadest coverage, protecting
 against almost all risks, including accidental damage,
 theft, and fire.
Named perils: This covers only specific risks that are
explicitly listed in the policy.

Several factors can influence the premium for goods in transit
insurance, including:
Value of the goods: The higher the value of the goods,
the higher the premium.
Mode of transportation: The risk associated with different modes
of transportation (e.g., road, rail, air, sea) can vary.
