# Does Product Liability Cover Products Manufactured Overseas?

An overseas-made product can be covered when the policy insures the product, importer, and relevant territory.

Yes, an overseas-made product can be covered when the policy includes the product, importer, and relevant territory. Your role as importer, brand owner, distributor, or seller and the policy’s insured-product and territory terms control.

Disclose product names, manufacturing countries, private-label arrangements, and sales destinations. Check the insured entity, foreign-judgment terms, product exclusions, and any applicable safety-reporting duties.
