# Does Product Liability Cover Imported Products?

Yes, if the policy covers the importing entity and products, and the claim fits its territory and terms.

A product-liability policy may cover imported products if it names the importer and includes those products and territories. Importers can also have product-safety and reporting duties that insurance does not satisfy.

Disclose product names, manufacturing countries, private-label arrangements, and sales destinations. Check the insured entity, foreign-judgment wording, product exclusions, and relevant regulator requirements.
