You should always insure international
shipments if your carrier does not provide automatic coverage.
Some carriers automatically protect your package from loss or
damage up to $100 (this value depends on your carrier) of your
item's value. If your item is worth more than $100, you may want
to purchase additional insurance.
Note: It is very important to make sure your
item is appropriately packed. If your item arrives broken due
to poor packaging, your carrier may not pay your insurance claim.
You should verify whether or not insurance is offered for your
items when choosing a carrier, as personal effects (home computers,
bicycles, clothing, electronics, etc.) may not be protected.
