In the process of international cargo transportation, goods will go through complex logistics links, including loading and unloading, warehousing, customs inspection, navigation or flight, etc. These links are full of unpredictable risks, and cargo insurance exists to prevent these risks.

Sea transportation is undoubtedly the most economical choice for international transportation from China, especially when large quantities of goods need to be transported over long distances. The scale effect and low fuel cost of sea transportation make it the first choice for many companies.

The most common shipping route between China and the United States is the Trans-Pacific route. Container ships depart from major ports in China, cross the vast Pacific Ocean, and finally arrive at ports on the west coast of the United States.
