What Cargo and Transit Insurance Requirements Apply in Colorado?

Colorado's official rule history lists an emergency version of 4 CCR 723-6 effective August 14, 2026, replacing the June 2025 permanent version. I could not retrieve the emergency rule text, so I cannot verify whether the older household-mover filing or valuation provisions still apply; request the mover's current cargo filing and written contract terms.

What Is Cargo and Transit Insurance?

Cargo coverage fits a shipper protecting goods it owns or a carrier responsible for another party’s goods. The quote needs to match who bears the loss, the shipment route and storage stops. Read the national Cargo and transit guide.

What to Watch for With Cargo and Transit in Colorado

Read the $10,000 Minimum as Mover Liability
The archived June 2025 version of 4 CCR 723-6 stated a $10,000 per-vehicle cargo-liability or surety minimum, or 60 cents per pound per article, whichever was greater, for household goods. Colorado now lists an emergency version effective August 14, 2026; because I could not inspect its text, do not rely on those older figures as current. Ask for the mover's operative cargo filing. ^1,²
Choose Between the Two Contract Valuations
The archived 2025 rule text required separate written released-value and replacement-cost choices and described declared value, possible deductibles, and amounts not covered by mover insurance or surety. The current emergency text was not retrievable, so ask for the contract and confirm which valuation terms currently apply before comparing them with your own policy. ¹
Colorado Replaced the 2025 Rule Version
The Secretary of State lists emergency 4 CCR 723-6, tracking 2026-00366, effective August 14, 2026 and expiring March 12, 2027; its eDocket states it implements HB 26-1326. The adopted DOCX/PDF could not be retrieved in this review, so the current cargo filing and valuation text remain unverified. ^2,³

Which Cargo and Transit Providers Have Colorado License Records?

These providers publish a national listing for Cargo and transit; the license records below name the licensed entities and roles. Some records rely on company-reported information rather than independent regulator verification. A national listing does not confirm the product is available in Colorado. Check the regulator’s license lookup and confirm state availability for your business when requesting a quote.

Surplus-Lines Tax and Stamping Office in Colorado

Reported tax rate. 3% of net premium ^7,^9,⁸

When Colorado is the insured’s home state, its surplus-lines tax is 3% of taxable premium. The Colorado Surplus Lines Association says insurer or broker fees charged in connection with the placement are included in the tax base; federal or other-state taxes and examination fees are excluded. For multistate risks, a tax-sharing agreement may allocate premium tax to other states.

Questions to Ask Before You Buy Cargo and Transit in Colorado

What cargo-liability proof does the mover currently file under the 4 CCR 723-6 emergency rule effective August 14, 2026?
Which valuation options and exclusions appear in the operative written contract, and what shipment value does it record?
Does the mover's current filing apply to the household goods on this vehicle, and what separate policy insures my interest in the goods?

Cargo and Transit Insurance in Colorado: Frequently Asked Questions

What cargo protection must a Colorado household mover carry?

The archived June 2025 Colorado rule listed $10,000 per motor vehicle or 60 cents per pound per article, whichever was greater, for household-goods cargo liability. The Secretary of State lists a replacement emergency version effective August 14, 2026, whose text I could not retrieve, so the current minimum is unverified; request the mover's operative filing. ^1,^3,²

What value choices must a Colorado mover put in the contract?

The archived 2025 rule listed separate released-value and full-replacement-cost choices in the contract. Because an emergency version became effective August 14, 2026 and I could not inspect its text, ask the mover which valuation terms appear in the current contract before relying on that older rule. ^1,³
