How cargo insurance and freight works in Saudi Arabia

The rules of the lane: Under CIF terms the seller's cover is the legal minimum only; most buyers add their own ICC (A) policy.

Cargo insurance for Saudi shipments costs roughly 0.2–0.5% of insured value (CIF + 10%). Carrier liability caps at a few dollars per kilo, which is why ICC (A) all-risks cover is the default for commercial cargo — it pays on loss, not on proving carrier fault, and absorbs general-average claims.

For cargo insurance and freight, the difference between a smooth shipment and an expensive one is preparation before arrival.
