Importing stock from overseas? Here’s the bit nobody tells you 👇
In the UK, the importer can be treated just like the manufacturer if a product causes injury. Retailers can be caught out too if they can’t name who supplied it.
That’s why our insurers ask for rights of recourse. In plain English, it’s a contract with your supplier saying that if their product is faulty, they cover the cost. It means:
✅ The bill goes back to whoever made the faulty product
✅ Your claims history is better protected
✅ Insurers see you as a lower risk, which helps you get cover in the first place
Not sure if your supplier agreement covers this? Drop us a DM and we’ll talk you through it. 💬
