Because of that different types of insurance they are usually used in international trade, such as cargo insurance, hull insurance, to reduce the risk of loss or damage of goods. Therefore, understanding the rules that regulate the transportation of goods in international trade and understanding the risks and insurance related to the transportation of goods can be crucial for the successful implementation of international sales contracts.
