Entrepot trade enterprises can purchase insurance. The goods transportation in entrepot trade involves multiple links and has a relatively high risk. Purchasing insurance helps protect the interests of enterprises. When purchasing insurance, first of all, it is necessary to clearly define the subject matter of insurance, clearly define the scope, characteristics, etc. of the insured goods. Secondly, it is necessary to pay attention to the transportation routes and transportation methods. Different routes and methods have different degrees of risk. For example, sea transportation may face risks such as bad weather and pirates, and land transportation may have risks of traffic accidents, etc. These will affect the insurance premiums and insurance clauses. Moreover, select appropriate insurance clauses. The common ones are Free from Particular Average (FPA), With Average (WA) and All Risks. The scope of protection of each clause is different. The protection of All Risks is relatively more comprehensive, but the insurance premium is also higher. In addition, truthfully disclose the situation of the goods, including the nature and value of the goods, to avoid affecting the claim settlement due to false disclosure. In short, entrepot trade enterprises can effectively reduce the risk of losses through reasonable insurance purchase.

It is possible to purchase insurance. Attention should be paid to the commencement and termination time of the insurance liability, which needs to match the actual transportation time of the entrepot trade goods. Otherwise, there may be an insurance blank period, and the damaged goods cannot be compensated.
