Export insurance

Export insurance is insurance against financial risks arising from the sale of an exportable product.

Payments in export contracts could be implemented via credit, when customers or buyers ask exporters to sell products first with the condition of later payment. In this case, exporters face the risk of non-payment by buyers after the product arrives. Reasons for non-payment may be commercial and political disturbances in the buyer's country. When concluding an insurance contract, the Company undertakes to verify the foreign client's solvency and to indemnify for non-payment based on the export contract.
