Supply Chain Risks - Mitigating through Incoterms® and Insurance
Program Description
- The costs, responsibilities and risks associated with each rule,
- Tips to use them properly, and
- How to mitigate risks by eliminating misunderstandings between buyer/seller and by avoiding contractual or potential legal issues.
A good understanding of the rules brings clarity to the costs, risk and responsibilities of both the buyer and seller and is a seller's best defense to ensure full and prompt payment.
La Donna Logan will guide you through the relationship between Incoterms and Insurance and how you may prevent risks throughout the various stages of the supply chain. Although Incoterms address transfer of risk, they should not be used as the sole basis of considering insurance. These are merely guidelines and can be amended, altered or superseded by parties to the contract. For example, only CIP and CIF terms stipulate an insurance obligation, however, the scope of insurance is not clearly specified therefore All Risk Cargo Insurance should be secured when available.
La Donna will cover:
- Insurance considerations for specific Incoterms®,
- Utilizing All Risk and Contingency coverage to close gaps and protect financial interests, and
- Risk associated with gaps in coverage utilizing case studies.
