Specialty Cargo Insurance

Specialty Cargo

Bonded freight, liquor, regulated imports and exports, and other specialty cargo can involve elevated values, permits, security requirements, and contractual obligations. The Truckers Insurance helps carriers evaluate coverage based on the commodities they transport, routes, storage arrangements, cargo values, and applicable requirements.

Tailored Coverage for Regulated and Sensitive Freight


We insure specialty cargo operators engaged in:


  • Transport of liquor, wine, and spirits under federal bond (TTB-compliant)

  • Imported alcoholic beverages from ports or bonded warehouses

  • Export freight requiring customs clearance

  • Jewelry, electronics, tobacco, and other high-value cargo

  • Bonded drayage for intermodal or international containers


Specialized coverage may include:


  • Auto Liability – with coverage for port access, bonded routes, and terminal travel

  • Motor Truck Cargo – with endorsements for:

    • Liquor and spirits in transit under federal bond

    • Customs-cleared vs. non-cleared goods

    • High-value, temperature-sensitive, or theft-targeted cargo

  • Customs Bond / Surety Bond – including BMC-84 freight broker bonds and TTB-required transport bonds

  • Warehouse Legal Liability – if bonded cargo is stored in your facility

  • Trailer Interchange Coverage – for intermodal or container handling

  • General Liability – for liability arising from warehousing, drayage, or on-site activities


We place these policies through A+ rated carriers familiar with the legal and operational standards of bonded cargo transport and regulated commodities.

Federal & Customs Compliance Expertise

  • Cargo type and declared value

  • Import/export activity

  • Route restrictions and storage obligations
