Insurance
 Pre-shipment credit insurance: Also known as risk cover before consignment, this protects
exporters against loss of produce (direct or indirect), or when an order is cancelled before the
goods are shipped. This facility is particularly useful for exporters producing custom-made
products that may not be resalable, especially when production may be discontinued due to
political or commercial risks.
 Post-shipment credit insurance: Also known as risk cover after consignment, this protects
against the risk of an overseas buyer failing to pay for goods (consumer goods, raw materials,
semi-finished goods and spare parts) received on credit and applies to transactions with
repayment terms not exceeding 24 months.
 Whole Turnover policy was launched in 2013 due to market demand for this product.
Bonding Facilities: None
