Broker of Household Goods — An individual, partnership, or corporation that receives payment for
arranging the transportation of household goods belonging to others by using an authorized Motor
Carrier. A Broker does not assume responsibility for the household goods and never takes
possession of the goods. Household goods are personal items that will be used in a home. They
include items shipped from a factory or store, if purchased with the intent to use in a home, and
transported at the request of the householder who pays for the transportation charges.
United States-based Enterprise Carrier of International Cargo (except Household Goods) — A
company that transports international cargo (excluding household goods) and is headquartered in the
United States, but is owned or controlled (greater than 55%) by a Mexican citizen or resident alien.
International cargo must originate in or be destined for a foreign country. Enterprise Carriers are not
classified as either common or contract Motor Carriers.

SECTION III – Insurance Information
Only applicants that will operate commercial motor vehicles must complete this section. The bodily
injury and property damage (BI & PD liability) insurance coverage requirements are based upon the gross
vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of vehicles and the classification of property (including hazardous materials)
that will be transported. Check all boxes that apply.
To determine the required minimum amount of BI & PD liability insurance coverage, identify the highest
dollar amount in parentheses among the insurance categories that are selected. For example, if the boxes
for both non-hazardous commodities ($750,000) and hazardous materials ($5,000,000) are checked, the
required minimum insurance coverage is $5,000,000—not $5,750,000.
NOTE:
Motor Common Carriers of Household Goods (HHG), Motor Contract Carriers of HHG, and
U.S.-based Enterprise Carriers of International HHG must maintain a minimum of $750,000 of BI
& PD liability insurance coverage regardless of the GVWR of the vehicles they operate.
In addition to BI & PD liability insurance coverage, Motor Common Carriers of Property, Motor
Common Carriers of HHG, U.S.-based Enterprise Carriers of International Cargo, and U.S.-
based Enterprise Carriers of International HHG must maintain minimum levels of cargo insurance
(Form BMC-34 for cargo liability) in the amount of:
o $5,000 for loss of or damage to property carried on any one motor vehicle
o $10,000 for loss of or damage to property occurring at any one time and place
Motor Common Carriers and U.S.-based Enterprise Carriers that transport low-value goods, as
specified in 49 CFR 387.301(b), may request an exemption from cargo insurance requirements by
calling the FMCSA Insurance Team, Commercial Enforcement Compliance Division, at 1-866-637-
0635 (toll-free) or 202-385-2423 and requesting a cargo exemption form.
Motor Contract Carriers of Property and Motor Contract Carriers of HHG only require proof of BI
& PD liability insurance with FMCSA. Cargo insurance is not required by Motor Contract Carriers.
