Every serious sourcing conversation about the Gold Lite eventually arrives at freight insurance and risk cover, usually because it is where cost and risk meet.
A written internal standard for freight insurance and risk cover makes onboarding new account managers far quicker and reduces avoidable errors.
Why freight insurance and risk cover matters on the Gold Lite
Cover should start at the factory gate rather than at the port of loading.
In practice the decision comes down to three numbers: unit cost, freight per unit and the realistic sell through rate for Gold Lite.
Declared value needs to match the commercial invoice or claims are reduced proportionally.
