Export Goods in Transit Cargo Insurance, for Mauritius.

  • It is important to arrange Goods in Transit Cargo Insurance cover, in the event of a damage or pilferage incident during  Sea or Air transport to Mauritius from UK.
  • Your Cargo is not insured, unless you arrange via your own companies Insurance brokers, or you ask your Freight Forwarder to quote for Goods in Transit Insurance cover and you accept their quote in writing.
  • You should not rely on the transporters to Mauritius’s liability insurance cover, under their  Air Waybill or Ocean Bills or Lading terms and conditions. This does not equate to cargo insurance cover for the value of your goods and may rely on some proof of negligence by the carriers, which is naturally difficult to prove.
  • We recommend that you must suitably export pack your goods to withstand the normal multiple handling, transhipping or stacking it will endure throughout a normal International Sea or Air movement from UK to Mauritius.
  • Insurance companies and transport carriers may refuse to accept any claims, if cargo is not suitably export packed.

Customs Import Advice

We recommend that you check with your Mauritian buyers, that they have a local import customs broker, who can advise the buyers on the customs documentation requirements for importing the products you are shipping from the UK to Mauritius.
  • The importers Customs Brokers can advise on Mauritian import duty and taxes, customs HS tariff classifications, if any prohibited or restricted goods and full documents required from UK shippers. This will avoid any issues of trying to import goods that Mauritian Customs will not allow to be imported and thus prevent wasted storage or other costs having to ship back to the UK.
  • A number of products are subject to import control as per the Consumer Protection (Control of Imports) Regulations 2017. Import control is carried out mainly for health and security reasons as well as for protecting the environment and national interest.
