Liam - all good stuff and this greatly clarifies the situation. Just one point, even if all containers are DAFF inspected and clearly the charges will then vary dependent upon how detailed the inspection is and what items need to be cleaning, treating or defumigating. Therefore, how can a remover in the UK charge up front DAFF fees in their quote ?
Secondly and out of curiosity, how many time in the last year have you had one of your customer's containers selected for external washing and how does the customer then claim against the insurance you are offering - does it not get even more complicated if there are 4 or 5 customers sharing the container - what happens in 3 buy the insurance indemnity policy and 2 don't ?
