## Insurance cover

Insurance cover is available for Team Global Express shipments up to $5,000. For over adding insurance cover over $5,000 please reach out to your Team Global Express account manager. Your Team Global Express version must be **Use MyTeamGE**.
You can enable and set the value of your insurance cover within an order. Alternatively, navigate to **Settings** > **Couriers** > **Team Global Express IPEC** > **Advanced** > **Use Declared Value if Cover/Warranty has not been set**. This setting will automatically use the declared value of an order for insurance cover if you do not set it within an order.

## Commodity codes

Team Global Express IPEC can require a commodity code for each package. Starshipit uses the commodity code on the package when one is available. If a package does not have its own commodity code, Starshipit uses the default commodity code saved in your Team Global Express IPEC settings.

The default commodity code is usually `Z`. Some services or freight profiles may require a different value, such as `G`. Confirm the correct value with your Team Global Express account manager before changing it.

To check the default commodity code:

1. Go to **Settings > Couriers**.
2. Open **Team Global Express IPEC**.
3. Open the **Advanced** settings.
4. Review the default commodity code.
5. Click **Save** if you make changes.

If you send an order with multiple packages that need different commodity codes, add the correct commodity code to each package before printing.
