Shipment Protection through our standard liability scheme with AXA Corporate Solutions Assurance I wish to protect my vehicle for representing the full overseas replacement cost.

Your vehicle should be protected by our Standard Liability for the full replacement cost at destination. If you protect your vehicle shipment for less than the overseas destination value, any claim may be 'averaged' out, and only a proportion of any such claim paid. If in doubt, please consult our Auto Export Department who will be pleased to assist. Standard Liability protection for vehicles is available at a rate of 2% of the full destination replacement value as declared by you.

Please note that in order to satisfy Customs & Licensing Regulations, suitable evidence of authority to ship the vehicle must be presented. A copy of the Registration Document and/or Original Bill of Sale, plus your passport details, (copy required) should be sufficient in most jurisdictions. If neither of these documents are in the shipper's name a Letter of Authority from the owner of the vehicle should be supplied. This WILL be validated by us. Please refer to the information we provide in our customs section AND the authorities of the countries involved. Occasionally an export (or import) licence must also be obtained.
