Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the most common questions about tariff risk and trade insurance.
What is tariff insurance?
"Tariff insurance" isn't a single product — it's a category of financial protection tools including trade credit insurance, political risk insurance, and customs bonds that help businesses manage the financial impact of tariff changes and trade disruptions.
Do I need trade credit insurance if tariffs go up?
If you sell on credit terms to buyers who could be squeezed by tariff cost increases, trade credit insurance protects you from non-payment. It's especially valuable for exporters and manufacturers with large receivables.
Is a customs bond required by law?
Yes. US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) requires a customs bond for any commercial import valued over $2,500. Businesses that import regularly need a continuous bond; occasional importers can use a single-entry bond.
How much does trade credit insurance cost?
Typical premiums range from 0.1% to 0.5% of insured annual revenue. For a company with $10M in covered receivables, that's $10,000–$50,000 per year — often less than the cost of a single bad debt.
Who are the top trade credit insurance providers?
The three largest global providers are Allianz Trade (formerly Euler Hermes), Atradius, and Coface. Together they cover about 85% of the global market. Each has different minimums and strengths by industry.
What is political risk insurance?
Political risk insurance protects businesses with foreign operations or suppliers against losses from government actions — including expropriation, currency inconvertibility, contract frustration, and political violence.
Can small businesses get trade credit insurance?
Yes, though minimum premiums vary by provider. Coface and several specialty insurers have programs for smaller businesses. Some brokers specialize in placing coverage for companies under $5M in revenue.
