Ethiopian Airlines B777 cargo plane with registration number ET-ARH caught fire while loading at Shanghai Pudong airport. The plane is a regular cargo flight from Shanghai to Sao Paulo Santiago via Addis Ababa.
After the incident, major airports and airlines have strengthened the inspection of lithium batteries and other charged dangerous goods!

The ground service department of China Eastern Airlines has issued an announcement before the investigation results of the incident are available: in order to ensure the safety of production, it is suggested to suspend the transportation of lithium batteries and other dangerous goods from July to September, so as to avoid aircraft safety risks caused by high temperature goods on the apron.
It is difficult not to speculate that the incident may be caused by dangerous goods such as batteries.

In this accident, the insured goods can be claimed according to 95% of the amount of loss. Insurance are generally divided into two types: air transport insurance and air transport all risks insurance. Basically everyone will buy all risks insurance, including damage, loss, robbery, theft, etc.

Once the goods are out of danger, the following documents shall be provided:
Original waybill (original waybill), insurance policy (original), certificate of damage and loss of cargo presented by the airline, certificate and photo of loss or damage of goods presented by local insurance company as indicated in the insurance policy, original packing list and invoice.

Tips for safe exit of cross border goods:
1. Don't conceal, omit or flush the goods. Due to the particularity of lithium batteries, the export process of batteries is more complex than that of general goods, and the procedures are relatively cumbersome.
2. High value goods must be insured by themselves or by professional freight forwarders.
3. Important air transport samples should have backup or at least backup raw materials, so that emergencies can be remedied by express delivery.
