For the value, not the weight

Cargo insurance

A carrier's standard liability is calculated by weight, not by what the cargo is worth, which is why an uninsured loss is so often a bad surprise. Cover is arranged separately, against the value you declare, and it is worth having on anything valuable, fragile or hard to replace. It is optional on every shipment and quoted as a separate line so you can see exactly what it costs.
