Risk Management


We strongly recommend that you take time to prepare a detailed valued inventory of your household items. You may use the form given to you by Asian Tigers K. C. Dat, or make your own inventory on your computer. Remember to list all the goods in your shipment. The quoted rate will not apply if you only list the fragile or high value items.

Value your possessions based on their approximate replacement value in your destination country. The ceramic garden stool you bought in Hong Kong may cost double the price to replace in New York or London.

Major electronic items :
Please include the brand name and model number with your description.

Rare Antiques and Artwork

For especially valuable single pieces, you should have a professional appraisal of the value for your records. Special packing and crating of such items will be arranged by Asian Tigers K. C. Dat's expert packers and carpenters. Please inquire if you have questions about antiques.

Self-packed Items

If you wish to pre-pack some items yourself, please leave the cartons open for our staff to check. This is important for both insurance and destination customs reasons. Labelling items "PBO" (packed by owner) limits or cancels your coverage on that item and invites extra inspections by customs officers.

Storage Extension

Your goods will be automatically covered for the first 60 days while in storage at origin or destination, provided your goods are stored in a professional moving company's warehouse. Should you need to store your goods for more than 60 days, you will need to apply for a policy extension. An extension form will be provided with your policy. There will be a nominal charge for extensions.

Take Photos

Although not necessary, you may wish to take photos of your household, or video tape the contents for your own reference. This is especially important for expensive antiques and artwork.
