ABOUT FARM TRANSIT INSURANCE
Your Farm Assets.
Covered While They Move.
Farm transit insurance can protect livestock, produce, machinery, parts and general agricultural goods against insured loss or damage while being transported. Cover may apply from loading through the ordinary course of transit to unloading, depending on the policy. Because a carrier’s trading terms may leave some or all of the cargo risk with you, the correct policy should reflect ownership, responsibility, transport method and declared value.

- Livestock, produce, machinery, parts and general farm goods
- Road, rail, air or sea transit options, subject to policy

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What does farm transit insurance cover?
Farm transit insurance can protect nominated livestock, machinery, produce and agricultural goods against specified accidental loss, damage or theft during an insured journey. Depending on the policy, cover may begin during loading and continue through the ordinary course of transit until unloading at the destination.
Does the transport carrier automatically insure my farm goods?
Not necessarily. A carrier’s liability may be limited or excluded under its trading terms, and the sender, buyer or seller may retain the risk. Before goods move, check the sale agreement, transport contract and carrier terms so the party with the insurable interest can arrange appropriate transit cover.
What agricultural goods can be insured in transit?
Subject to insurer acceptance, cover may be available for livestock, harvested produce, grain, feed, agricultural materials, farm machinery, implements, parts, vehicles and general farm goods. Different categories may require separate policy wordings, limits, packaging requirements or special conditions.
Do I need single-transit or annual transit insurance?
Single-transit insurance may suit a one-off purchase, sale or relocation. Annual transit insurance can suit farms and agribusinesses that regularly move livestock, produce, equipment or supplies throughout the year. The best structure depends on frequency, maximum shipment value, routes and transport methods.
What information is needed for a farm transit quote?
Useful information includes the goods being moved, ownership and responsibility, collection and destination points, transport method, carrier details, loading and unloading arrangements, packaging or restraint methods, journey dates, declared value, previous losses and whether cover is required once or throughout the year.
