Local partners should be involved in the destination-country portion of battery-damage handling. The exporter provides the policy, coverage scope, deductible, pre- and post-shipment images, and notification records; the importer should then have its customs broker, repair provider, or compliance adviser confirm whether they can be used in practice. This separates supplier-side documents from local execution and reduces the risk of being unable to prove when the loss occurred or who is entitled to claim after an incident. Final decisions remain subject to the principle that insurance proceeds do not replace the contractual allocation of cargo-damage liability.
