Underwriter

What is an Underwriter?

An underwriter is someone who evaluates and takes on the risk of another entity for a fee. In shipping insurance, they assess the risks of insuring packages during transit. They set the terms of the insurance policy, including the coverage limits, premiums, and deductibles.
