You’ve done the hard work – sourced the right supplier, negotiated the deal, filed your customs documentation, and your goods are en route. But then… they vanish.
Cargo theft isn’t just a logistics hiccup; it’s a growing threat across global supply chains. According to a recent white paper by FreightWaves and AMAROK, the risks are accelerating in both frequency and complexity.

The Changing Landscape of Cargo Theft
Today’s cargo crime is far more than opportunistic theft—it’s increasingly driven by organized operations exploiting supply chain blind spots. Key findings from the report include:
- Thefts are occurring in regions not historically known for high-risk activity.
- Electronics, household goods, and apparel remain top targets.
- Supply chain delays and limited visibility are creating vulnerabilities.
- A significant portion of shipments are either uninsured or underinsured.
Even importers who believe their cargo is “covered” may be exposed to major financial loss.
The Insurance Gap: Why Most Imports Aren’t Fully Protected
A common misconception among importers is that the carrier or supplier’s insurance is sufficient. However, under many Incoterms, such as CIF (Cost, Insurance, and Freight) or C&F (Cost and Freight), coverage often ends at the port of entry. Once the goods reach U.S. shores, you’re on your own.
- Worse yet, relying solely on a carrier’s liability insurance often results in:
- Limited compensation based on weight, not cargo value
- No coverage for theft, pilferage, or misdelivery
- Complex claims processes, with delays or outright denials over paperwork issues
This is where eezyimport’s integrated cargo insurance solution delivers a smarter, more reliable alternative.

Real Protection for Real-World Risks
Cargo theft, warehouse damage, and container mishandling are not rare events. They’re real-world scenarios that can turn a profitable shipment into a costly loss. Ask yourself:

- Are you confident your current coverage truly protects you?
