One thing I thought I'd mention is that a seller should be aware of the "touch-down" provision, even if insurance coverage is available for Russia.
That is, in many cases, although a carrier will provide insurance to Russia, coverage ceases once the plane carrying the parcel first touches down within Russia, or the parcel is offloaded at the first Russian port. In other words, the insurance doesn't apply for the leg of the trip where you would really most want it, which to my mind makes the insurance rather pointless.
All I can say is that if you do find a carrier who will insure to Russia, be sure to read the fine print of that carrier's conditions and limits and understand what risks you're accepting if a valuable item is involved. The insurance may not be worth paying for.
Hi rose. It sounds like you've done your research, and I appreciate that you've posted here. I've had problems with the CPO honouring an insurance claim. It felt shady when they denied my last claim and the whole process was questionable from start to end.
If an item is lost or damaged how could they know where en route that took place? After my experience I wouldn't be surprised if the onus is on the shipper to prove where it occurred. When amounts get higher they get very squirmy.
Also, where in CPC's fine print did you read about the "touch-down" provision?
