With a G7 guarantee, you can cover your warehouse abroad (stock in commission) against political risks. Should your goods kept as stock in commission be destroyed or confiscated due to political reasons, this guarantee will refund up to 100% of the value of the goods.
Your situation
You are an Austrian export company and have shipped goods abroad which are not yet stored on the client’s premises but in a separate warehouse. The stored goods are still your property. You want to cover this property against political risk.
Our service: Covering your warehouse abroad
With an G7 export guarantee, your stock in commission is covered against political risk. In this context, political risk is understood as a political development or event in the client’s country – such as a war, a revolution or warlike events that lead to the destruction or confiscation of your goods in commission.
Be flexible on site thanks to a coverage
You would like, for example, to operate a spare parts warehouse abroad to be able to quickly access the required materials should import or customs formalities in the target country prevent quick delivery. You can provide better service to your customer abroad with a warehouse in the target country.
Coverage depending on the target country’s creditworthiness
The Republic of Austria assumes up to 100% of damage resulting from political risk depending on the OECD classification of your target export country.
Here you can see a list of countries for which a G7 guarantee can be offered:
Coverage of non-payment risk
Should you require an additional coverage against non-payment risk for selling your goods, you can cover this with a parallel guarantee: G1. The G1 guarantee allows you to cover the entire project for which you are providing the goods. You can find more information on the supplier credit page.
Your benefits:
Your property is effectively covered against political risk.
We design the guarantee according to your stock.
With us at your side, you have an experienced partner for covering your export transactions.

Estimate
It's worth talking to us during the planning phase. We can support you with a reliable estimate for coverage so that you can factor in insurance costs from the very beginning.
Letter of Intent
We can strengthen your position with a letter of intent (LOI) to confirm that we can, in principle, guarantee your project.
