Can I book an additional insurance for my parcels?

Learn when additional parcel insurance is available, which carriers support it, and how to book declared value coverage via Shipcloud.

Written by Ina Kahl

An additional insurance is currently only available for DHL, Correos (only in Spain) UPS, and Cargo International provided that you have your own contract with one or more of the aforementioned shipping providers.

If you are shipping via our Shipcloud rates, unfortunately we are currently unable to offer additional insurance.

To learn how to book additional insurance for your parcels via API request (if your contract with DHL or UPS allows it), please refer to our developer documentation:

DHL: https://developers.shipcloud.io/carriers/dhl.html#v2---declared-value
UPS: https://developers.shipcloud.io/carriers/ups.html#ship-webservice---declared-value
Cargo International: https://developers.shipcloud.io/carriers/cargo_international.html#v1---declared-value

Whether the booking of a higher insurance is also possible through your shop system or plug-in, you can find out from the relevant manufacturer.
