product liability insurance for chinese imports

*dreamaker*

I have been importing home electrical products from China for some time now & will shortly be opening a specialist shop to sell them from. My problem is that I am having a real problem in finding a company that will offer me the full product/public liability insurance package that also covers all the other types of insurance that I will need as an importer & retailer. Most of the insurance brokers I have spoken to say that many companies will not quote for me due to the products that I sell & where they are from. Axa insurance say that they can cover it all but do not seem willing to actually put things properly in writing & their rep is not much cop.
Can anybody recommend a specialist insurance company that can help ?, I'm losing my hair through this !

There are links on this page to the small print of what is covered on the Axa Home Worker Policy
http://www.axa-insurance.co.uk/businessinsurance/working_from_home.html#main
This is the home worker policy - not sure if that is what you want - 2 million each for product and public liability which you can increase to 5 million if you wish. There are links on the page to other types of policy.

Finding a broker is usually worthwhile for specialist insurance.
