Shipment Protection Plus (SPP)
Service Introduction

SF International has always been providing quality and caring services to our customers. Shipment Protection Plus (short for “SPP”) is a value-added service provided by SF International. If customers select the SPP service when shipping packages with SF International, in addition to the freight charge, customers will need to pay the SPP service charge based on the SPP rate. During the transport process, if shipments are damaged or lost due to SF International's liabilities, SF International will compensate for the loss based on the ratio of the SPP amount (declared value) and loss.
