Everything practical about transport insurance in Saudi Arabia on one page: what it costs, how long it takes, what documents decide the outcome. Modjo does the rest.

transport insurance — what to know

Start from the framework: 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.

With transport insurance, certificates ready before sailing beat any discount on freight.
