Cargo Insurance
Cargo Insurance sits in the Compliance phase of TradeOS — Vinod Kumar Jain's 30-year operational lens on cross-border trade. ICC (Institute Cargo Clauses) A = all-risks (most expensive, broadest); B = named perils; C = catastrophic only (cheapest). For CIF/CIP, exporter buys; otherwise importer. Marine + war + strike clauses are addable. Typical size: 0.1-1% of CIF + 10% (sum insured = CIF×1.1). Typical time: Same-day cover note. Multilateral coverage: 197 countries × 273 FTAs × 28 blocs × 37 corridors.
