High-value transit insurance

When shipping high-value jewelry and luxury goods, standard carrier liability (from UPS, FedEx, or USPS) is usually insufficient . They typically cap jewelry payouts at very low limits (often $500 to $1,000 regardless of what you declare) and exclude precious gems or luxury items entirely in the fine print.[parcelpro.com](https://www.parcelpro.com/us/en/resources/insights/high-value-items-package-insurance.html)

Dedicated third-party providers specializing in high-value transit insurance for jewelry and luxury goods offer much higher coverage caps, lower premiums, and safer "anonymous" labeling options.[parcelpro.com](https://www.ecijewelers.com/blogs/recent-posts/shipping-insurance-for-high-value-items?srsltid=AU7gw4WgG92X2-pbsJEkfO2MKdh6QedV6cMauJiMpCQFr5MSii4qLIPi)

To help narrow down the best fit, tell me:

• Are you shipping as a business / e-commerce merchant or as an individual?
• What is the approximate value of the items you typically ship?

Protecting high-value shipments like luxury goods, fine art, and jewelry requires "Specie" or specialized transit insurance rather than standard carrier liability (which usually caps out at minimal amounts and excludes high-value jewelry entirely).[chubb.com](https://www.chubb.com/sg-en/business/fine-art-valuable-goods-insurance.html)[[2](https://www.wilsonsmithgroup.com/commercial-lines/specie)](https://www.wilsonsmithgroup.com/commercial-lines/specie)
