Whatever goods you buy (or import /export or transport domestically) all have the risk of theft or damage due to natural disaster or other unpredictable accidents.
So just like the home, auto or health insurance, freight insurance gives the extra coverage against the unpredictable and the unpreventable damages that might occur when freight moves from point A to point B.
If you import/export goods, the insurance cost is usually calculated by the total commercial value of the goods.
