Foreign trade insurance

What is foreign trade insurance?

Foreign trade insurance is intended for companies interested in protecting their credit sales to business customers abroad.

The policy provides protection against non-receipt of a payment due to:

• Insolvency
• Economic difficulties
• Non-payment due to political events in the customer's country (such as war, revolution, prohibition of sending foreign currency, nationalization, cancellation of import licenses and more).

ICIC's insurance cover secures debts owed to the policyholder for transactions made also in such cases.
