What is Export Consultancy Insurance?

Export consultancy insurance protects professionals who advise businesses looking to sell products or services abroad. It covers consultants if their recommendations lead to financial loss or reputational damage for exporters. For example:

  • Inaccurate advice on overseas product certification
  • Failure to advise properly on overseas regulations
  • Mistakes in preparing customs and shipping documentation
  • Errors assessing overseas demand for products
  • Flawed translations of brochures and websites

Without adequate cover, consultants risk substantial pay-outs if exporters lose money acting on their guidance. Our policies cover legal costs and compensation claims in such cases.

Why Do Export Consultants Need Insurance?

Exporting is complex, requiring consultants to consider:

  • Local business cultures and etiquette  
  • Changes to products for foreign markets   
  • Specialist shipping and freight procedures
  • Import duties and taxes in target countries
  • Local marketing approaches

With livelihoods relying on the right export advice, consultants must safeguard themselves against potential claims if their guidance proves inaccurate. A single error could mean significant financial loss for a client.

Our specialist insurance covers any claims due to problems such as goods held at customs, increased tax liabilities overseas or poor foreign sales due to incorrect consulting. Without protection, such scenarios could seriously impact your business’s viability.

FAQs

Export Consultancy Insurance FAQs

Exporting is complex, meaning flawed consulting advice can quickly cause significant financial loss through issues like increased overseas tax liabilities or importing delays. Professional indemnity insurance covers resulting client claims. Without adequate cover, consultants risk their entire business from a single client dispute.

Examples of export losses we can cover include:

  • Exporters lose money because a consultant failed to advise properly on overseas regulations.
  • Increased import taxes and duties owed because incorrect customs paperwork was submitted on a consultant’s guidance.
  • Goods are held indefinitely at foreign ports due to wrong certifications or import codes from flawed consulting.

Yes. Our export consultancy insurance can extend to cover any contractors, freelancers or associates operating under your business name. So, even if an assigned sub-contractor makes mistakes, our policy protects your core business against client claims.

Our policy encompasses common export consultancy areas like:

  • Overseas marketing advice
  • Target country research
  • Import/export duty planning
  • Local partner/distributor search support
  • Shipping/freight consultancy

Essentially, we provide comprehensive protection for typical exporting guidance to help overseas customers sell abroad successfully and compliantly.
