For private label sellers, Amazon FBA merchants, and e-commerce business owners, properly insuring your inventory is essential. Whether your products are shipped from overseas, stored in third-party warehouses, or fulfilled by Amazon, gaps in your insurance coverage could leave you with significant financial losses if something goes wrong.
At Panther Public Adjusting, we specialize in helping businesses understand their insurance policies and fight for the payouts they deserve when claims are denied or underpaid. If you’re unsure whether your inventory is fully covered, contact us today for a free policy review.
What is a Marine Insurance Policy?
A marine insurance policy is designed to cover your inventory during transit and, with the right riders, even while stored in warehouses. Many private label sellers and Amazon FBA merchants assume that their standard business insurance policies will protect them—but in most cases, these policies do not cover inventory while in transit or stored in third-party locations.
With a marine insurance policy, your inventory is protected from:
✅ Loss or damage during shipping (e.g., accidents, theft, piracy, container loss at sea)
✅ Fire, flooding, and natural disasters in warehouses
✅ Theft or mishandling while stored in third-party locations
✅ Unexpected supply chain disruptions leading to financial loss
If you’re importing products from China or other international suppliers, it’s especially important to have a marine policy that covers your inventory from the moment it leaves the supplier until it reaches the customer. Submit your policy for review today to ensure you’re fully protected!
Why Private Label Sellers & Amazon FBA Merchants Need Marine Insurance
As an Amazon seller or private label brand owner, your business depends on having products available for sale. Any delay, damage, or loss of inventory can directly impact your revenue and brand reputation. Without the right insurance, you could be forced to pay out of pocket to replace lost inventory.
Here’s why marine insurance is crucial for Amazon and e-commerce businesses:
1. Protect Inventory During International Shipments
If you’re sourcing products from China, India, or other international manufacturers, your inventory must travel thousands of miles before it reaches customers. Along the way, it’s at risk for:
- Shipping accidents (e.g., containers falling overboard)
- Theft or hijacking
- Delays and damages during customs inspections
Marine insurance ensures that even if disaster strikes, you’re covered for the cost of your lost inventory.
2. Coverage for Third-Party Warehouses (Amazon FBA & 3PLs)
If you’re using Amazon FBA, third-party logistics (3PL) warehouses, or fulfillment centers, your inventory is often stored in locations outside of your direct control.
- If a fire destroys Amazon’s warehouse, are you covered?
- If a flood damages inventory at a 3PL warehouse, will insurance reimburse you?
- If Amazon misplaces your inventory, who takes responsibility?
Most standard business insurance policies do NOT cover inventory stored in third-party facilities. You need to ensure that your marine insurance extends coverage to these locations.

3. Business Continuity & Profit Protection
For e-commerce businesses, having products in stock and available for sale is the lifeblood of your company. If your inventory is lost, delayed, or damaged, it could lead to:
🚨 Lost sales & revenue (Customers can’t buy what you don’t have!)
🚨 Negative reviews & customer complaints (Damaged products = bad brand reputation)
🚨 Cash flow issues (Replacing lost inventory out of pocket can be expensive)
Having the right marine insurance policy protects your cash flow and ensures your business can recover quickly if something goes wrong. Don’t wait until disaster strikes—get a free policy review today!
How to Ensure You Have Proper Marine Insurance
Many Amazon sellers and e-commerce businesses unknowingly purchase incomplete or insufficient policies that leave their inventory vulnerable. Here’s what to check for when reviewing your marine insurance:
🔎 Are all transportation stages covered? (From manufacturer to final destination)
🔎 Does the policy extend to Amazon FBA & third-party warehouses?
🔎 Are there exclusions that could leave you at risk?
🔎 Is coverage included for theft, fire, natural disasters, and carrier mishandling?
Many insurance policies contain hidden loopholes that could result in denied claims. Don’t take risks with your business—contact us now to ensure you’re fully covered!
