Generally we cover insurance WPA and War Risks in the absence of definite instructions from our clients. If you want to cover All Risks, we can provide such coverage at a slightly higher premium.
Breakage is a special risk，for which an extra premium will have to be charged. The present rate is about 5%. Claims are payable only for that part of the loss, that is over 5%.
With/In regard to value to be insured, we regret being unable to comply with your request for getting cover for 150% of the invoice value, because the contract stipulates that insurance is to be covered for 110% of the invoice value.
We trust the above information will be helpful and await your further news.
Yours truly,
