In the first webinar of 2017, Tyler Zaichkin explains everything importers need to know about buying their insurance on CIF Terms.

One of the most common methods for businesses to purchase their ocean marine cargo insurance is to purchase it with through their foreign supplier on CIF (Cost, Insurance, and Freight) terms. Although this method may be the simplest way to acquire insurance on your ocean cargo, most businesses do not fully understand CIF and how/if they are truly protected from a loss.
