Can I Insure Only Selected Expensive Items?

Yes — you can insure only selected expensive items during relocation through transit insurance during house shifting, where coverage is taken only for high-value or fragile goods instead of the entire household shipment.This option is useful if you want protection for valuables while keeping insurance costs lower.

Selective insurance is commonly used for items such as electronics, artwork, antiques, luxury furniture, musical instruments, or premium appliances. However, these items must be declared clearly in advance and listed separately in the insurance policy and inventory.
