legitimate interest of the insured person or thing, against predetermined risks”.
Usually,

areas, dischard from vessels coming from abroad, mainly for imported purposes, awaiting the usual Customs
clearance procedures for removal to the bonded warehouses.

dos not occur, cargoes shall be shifted/ handled by ports operator inside the port yard, the international carrier
insurance will cover the cargo only upto discharge of goods at the destination port( as
per INCOTERMS/FOB).

delivered to the consignee or importer stressed in the Bill of lading(B/L).This
is the most appropriate way and indicated, as exporters and importers need a
safe spot, with quick response.

warehouse is advisable to the importer to hire a cargo insurance.
Importerers whose insurance were
hired in Brazil, are guaranteed while the goods are in the port area, for the
period stated in the policy. Importers who trade on CIF base, will have to
check the policy given by the exporter abroad, where the coverage ends,
invariably with the loading port or unloading at the port or airport of
destination, depending on the contract terms.
Anyhow on hiring a cargo
