What to remember
This is different from insurance for damage to your own goods. Ask which liabilities, limits and exclusions apply.
Do not confuse these protections

|---|---|
| Carrier liability | Responsibility under transport terms and law |
| Declared value | A declaration that may affect contractual liability |
| Cargo insurance | Cover under a separate policy with its own conditions |
