What are the benefits of purchasing commercial liability insurance?
🌟 Reduce losses in claims
If the products you sell are defective and cause property loss or personal injury to consumers, commercial liability insurance can cover you and your business, including repairs, medical expenses, or other related expenses arising from customer claims, including attorneys' fees.
🌟 Reduce the risk of getting into disputes and affecting the healthy operation of accounts
During the period covered by commercial liability insurance, if your buyer files a claim, Amazon or an independent claims adjuster will resolve the case directly with the buyer after evaluating the claim. For claims less than $1,000, Amazon will “pay the buyer directly” and will not affect your performance metrics, reducing your labor and time costs to a certain extent!
🌟 Professional escort for overseas business
Compared to domestic product liability claims, similar cases in the US and Canada have a long processing cycle, complicated legal procedures, and high defense costs. Commercial liability insurance can provide professional support and protection to the greatest extent to protect your overseas business.

Quick question quick answer
❓ Q1: What will happen to my account if I don't renew my insurance?
If your buyer files a claim, you have 7 days to respond, accept or decline the claim, and submit relevant documentation; if it is discovered that you have not purchased the required insurance, Amazon may take steps, such as restricting you from selling certain categories of products, and in some cases, Amazon may suspend your account until you provide proof of insurance. Amazon will notify you and provide a path to appeal before any enforcement action is taken.
❓ Q2: If I get insurance from another insurer, how can I verify the authenticity of the insurance policy I obtained?
We recommend that you check out the more reliable Amazon Insurance Accelerator, and if you have already obtained insurance from another third party insurer, be sure to verify the authenticity of your policy using one of the following methods:
● Call the insurance company directly to confirm whether your policy is valid and ask them to provide proof of insurance;
● Log in to the insurance company's website and enter the policy serial number to confirm whether your policy is valid.
❓ Q3: My monthly sales have not reached 10,000 US dollars this year. Do I need to renew my insurance?
Yes. According to the “Business Solutions Agreement” between the seller and Amazon, as long as the seller's total sales revenue exceeds $10,000 in any month on the Amazon Marketplace (historical), or in other circumstances required by Amazon, the seller must apply for commercial liability insurance and renew the insurance within 30 days.
❓ Q4: What is the renewal price?Can I change my insurance company?
The price of insurance is determined by various factors such as the category of products sold by the seller, annual sales, place of registration of the company, and whether there is a deductible. You need to consult the insurance company and obtain a quote. You can renew your insurance with a different insurance company according to your needs, as long as the policy issued by that insurance company meets Amazon's requirements.
