Updated Insurance Valuation Recommendations Following U.S. Import Tariff Increase

Updated Insurance Valuation Recommendations Following U.S. Import Tariff Increase

Following the recent increase of U.S. import tariffs, updated insurance valuation is recommended.

Currently, the standard insurance basis is 110% of CIF value, covering mainly logistics-related expenses. For cargo subject to high tariffs in general, and especially for shipments to the U.S. under the new tariff orders, it is recommended to review with your marine/air cargo insurers the following alternative valuation bases such as:

  • Cargo value + freight + applicable duty rate in the destination country
  • CIF value + Duty & Customs + 10%
