« AD VALOREM » INSURANCE : INSURING THE REAL VALUE OF YOUR GOODS

A reimbursement of the losses incurred according to the sum initially declared. In the event of non-delivery, loss, or damage to the goods, it is imperative to declare the situation very quickly in order to make the appropriate reservations with the parties involved and preserve rights of recourse.
