How it Works
The nuts and bolts of a policy are simpler than one might imagine.
- Policies cover both commercial and political risks.
- There are no application fees or minimum premium. A one-time, refundable advance deposit of $500 (minimum) is required to issue the policy.
- No minimum annual premium is required.
- Standard coverage is 95% of the invoiced amount. Sovereign buyers are covered at 100%. Bulk agricultural commodity exports qualify for 98% coverage.
