Risk Surcharge

What is risk surcharge?

It is a provision from the company for the benefit of the customer to protect against the transit risks when the goods are not insured by consignor. The coverage is extended if customer chooses to avail the provision by paying the stipulated risk coverage charges. This should not be construed as insurance cover as risk surcharge cover will have only a limited liability on the part of the company subject to the terms and conditions laid out.

Applicability of risk surcharge

Risk surcharge is applicable to all Premium Express Products and consignments booked under D, V and W series. However, products and consignments that are booked under ‘Mentioned Piece’ will only have Mentioned Piece charges as levied covering the risk.

It is the responsibility of the consignor to provide the necessary documentation. Any failure in this regard to comply with any of the terms and conditions laid down under the contractual terms of the consignment will make all liability clauses on part of the carrier null and void.

Consequential losses of any kind will not be considered.
