9/17/24, 2:07 PM UAE: Shipping valuable items? Here's why you should pay extra to insure your parcels | Living-ask-us – Gulf News

Why is shipment insurance important?

If you are shipping valuable documents like academic transcripts or legal papers, or

fragile high-value items, opting for the insurance service can offer substantial

protection.

For domestic shipments, you can receive compensation for the declared value of your

parcel – up to Dh10,000 for domestic and up to Dh20,000 for international shipments –

in addition to the shipping fees, in case of loss or damage. If you have a PO Box, you
can get automatic coverage for packages valued up to Dh5,000. This service is

available for both individuals and businesses.
