Shipment Protection
Route Protection
Route protection covers how Evokomoribi prepares, documents, and supports your shipment in transit — and what steps to take if goods are lost, damaged, or delayed by the carrier.
Last updated: May 17, 2026
1. Risk Transfer Point
Under standard FOB terms, risk transfers from Evokomoribi to the Buyer at the moment goods are handed to the nominated carrier or freight forwarder at the port of loading (Shenzhen or Guangzhou). From that point, the Buyer bears the risk of loss, damage, or delay during transit. Evokomoribi is not liable for carrier-caused issues after the FOB handover point, but we will provide full documentation support to help you file and recover any claim.
2. Pre-Shipment Protection Measures
Before every shipment leaves our facility, we apply the following to minimize transit risk:
- 100% final inspection completed before packing — every unit is function-tested before being boxed
- Individual units are poly-bagged and cushioned within inner cartons; inner cartons are packed into reinforced export master cartons
- Fragile / electronics warning labels applied to master cartons where appropriate
- Carton gross weight maintained under 23 kg per carton for safe handling
- Pre-shipment photos of packed cartons provided to the Buyer for every bulk order
- Packing list cross-checked against the purchase order before cartons are sealed
3. Cargo Insurance — Our Recommendation
Evokomoribi strongly recommends that all Buyers obtain cargo insurance covering the full CIF value of each shipment. Carrier liability limits are typically insufficient to cover a full order:
DHL / FedEx / UPS Express
Limited to declared value up to carrier maximum (approx. USD 100–300 for standard accounts). Additional declared value available at a surcharge.
Sea freight (LCL/FCL)
Carrier liability under Hague-Visby Rules is capped at approximately USD 2.05 per kg or 666.67 SDR per package — far below typical B2B order values.
Your freight forwarder can arrange All-Risk marine cargo insurance for approximately 0.3–0.8% of cargo value. We recommend it for any order above USD 3,000 CIF value. For express shipments, DHL and FedEx offer declared value coverage at the booking stage — advise your forwarder to add it.
4. If Your Shipment Is Lost or Damaged
Follow these steps immediately upon discovering loss or damage:
Step 1 — Document everything
Photograph all cartons before opening, noting any visible damage (crushed corners, punctures, wet damage). Photograph all inner contents. Do not discard packaging until the claim is resolved.
Step 2 — Note on delivery receipt
If receiving a sea freight delivery, note all visible damage on the delivery receipt / Bill of Lading before signing. For express couriers, request a damage report from the driver.
Step 3 — File carrier claim within 7 days
Express carriers (DHL/FedEx/UPS): file within 7 calendar days of delivery. Sea freight: file a written protest with the carrier within 3 days for visible damage, or within 3 days of discovery for hidden damage (max 1 year from delivery under most conventions).
Step 4 — Contact Evokomoribi
Email us at info@evokomoribi.com with your PO number and shipment details. We will provide duplicate commercial invoices, packing lists, and pre-shipment photos to support your claim.
5. Documentation We Provide for Claims
Upon request for carrier or insurance claim support, Evokomoribi provides:
- Duplicate commercial invoice (marked 'For Insurance / Customs Claim Purpose')
- Packing list with individual carton weights and dimensions
- Pre-shipment packing photos (taken at our factory before loading)
- QC inspection photos or report for the specific batch

6. Delayed Shipments
Evokomoribi is not liable for carrier delays, port congestion, customs holds, or force majeure events after the FOB handover. If a shipment tracking status has not updated for more than 5 business days, contact us and we will coordinate a trace investigation with the carrier on your behalf. For express shipments, we can initiate a DHL / FedEx trace within 24 hours of your request.
