About CIF value, insurance amount, premium rate and insurance premium

Insured amount = CIF price × (1 + insurance bonus rate)

Premium = Sum insured × rate

Since the calculation of the insurance amount is based on the CIF (or CIP) price, if the CFR (or CPT) price needs to be changed to the CIF (CIP) price when making an external quotation, or when the buyer requests the seller to insure on behalf of the seller under the CFR (or CPT) contract, the CFR (or CPT) price should not be directly calculated based on the CFR price, but should be converted into the CIF (or CIP) price before the corresponding insurance amount and insurance premium are calculated.

(1) When importing by CIF: Insured amount = CIF price× (1 + insurance bonus rate)

(2) When importing according to CFR: the insurance amount = CFR price×1.1 / (1 - (1 + insurance bonus rate) × r), where r is the insurance rate, please find it in the relevant website of the "insurance company" in My City (city center), and add the insurance rate of the insurance object invested.

(3) When importing by FOB: insured amount = (FOB freight + sea freight) ×1.1 / (1 - (1 + insurance bonus rate) × r).

Note: According to the regulations of insurance companies, war insurance and strike insurance, if the insurance is added at the same time, the rate is not cumulative, and it is still calculated according to the rate of only one of the insurance types. That is, regardless of whether only one or both of them are insured, the insurance rate is 0.8 ‰.
