Coverage to consider
Policies in this area often address breakdown, goods moving from supplier to customer, pollution, unpaid invoices, and product liability and recall.
- Environmental liability
- Can cover investigation and cleanup of a pollution release from a plant, and the third-party claims that result.

- Stock throughput
- Is designed to follow goods from raw material purchase through manufacture, storage and delivery under one policy, reducing coverage gaps between stages.
