In many cases you will also be asked for more information, for example, the content of the shipment or the purchase invoice. Make sure you complete this form carefully. If it later becomes apparent that important information has not been provided at this point, it's still required to provide this information at some point during the claims procedure. This may result in your investigation being delayed.
