For international transport, specific conditions (such as CMR) are important
Report changes in mode of transport or goods in a timely manner

Is theft during transport always reimbursed?

Yes, with most policies, sometimes with additional conditions.

Does the insurance also cover international transport?

Yes, often with CMR conditions or all-risk coverage.

Is damage due to temperature loss (refrigerated transport) covered?

With a special module, yes.

Can I take out a continuous policy for all my transports?

Yes, that is often clearer and more cost-effective for regular transport.

Is consequential damage or delay also reimbursed?

Usually not standard, unless explicitly included in the insurance.
