    Tutorials and FAQs

    For new business, use the ‘Cargo’ Product Target only. Do not use ‘Marine/Air Cargo’ Product Target.

    Scenario A – Manually traded but on the wrong Product Target

    If the risk is currently manually traded on Acturis using the ‘Marine/Air Cargo’ Product Target, use the Remarket Policy function and change to the ‘Cargo’ Product Target, save and select NMU and E-Trade on the Product Selection, then submit the risk.

    Scenario B – Manually traded but already on the correct ‘Cargo’ Product Target

    For renewal risks which are manually traded but already on the ‘Cargo’ Product Target, from the Renewal RFQ, use the Remarket Policy function and select NMU and E-trade, save and then submit the risk.

    To renew E-Trade risks which are already on the ‘Cargo’ Product Target, from the Renewal RFQ use the Remarket Policy function and select NMU and E-Trade, save and then submit the risk. 
    To make Mid Term Adjustments, for example to change the cover period or the  estimates and exposures, under an existing NMU Cargo E-Trade Policy select the ‘Process MTA’ option and complete the required changes, then submit the risk. 
    Scenario A – If you just want to change the commission level alone, view our video below.

    Scenario B – If you want to change the commission level after the premium has already been overridden by an Underwriter:

    1. First remove the Premium Override in the Rating Amounts screen, by reducing the Premium Override back to zero;
    2. then apply a Commission rate change, before altering the authorisation code to NMU Commission and resubmitting;
    3. You will then need to select ‘Submit to Underwriter’ to have the premium override reapplied. 
    Wherever the term ‘Limit’ is referred to, whether; Own Vehicle; Postal; Goods in Transit; Import/Export Conveyance; Exhibition; Tools and Samples; this should be the maximum single goods value limit per any one of those individual conveyance methods – it is not the total annual value of goods dispatched in that manner 
    Even though you have had a message to say that your RFQ has been referred for Underwriter review – please make sure that you then also hit the ‘Submit to U/W’ option, otherwise we won’t receive your RFQ and won’t be able to respond.
    Even though you have had a message to say that your RFQ has referred – you will then need to change the Product Target from Cargo E-trade to Cargo U-trade and resubmit in order for our Underwriters to receive your U-trade RFQ.
