Sales Turn-Over Policy (STOP)

Sales Turn-Over Policy (STOP) – National Insurance

Businesses involved in manufacturing, trading, or regular movement of goods require reliable protection against transit-related risks. Traditional marine insurance policies often require multiple issuances, declarations, and administrative tasks for every shipment. To simplify this process, National Insurance offers the Sales Turn-Over Policy (STOP)—a comprehensive and flexible solution designed for businesses with large or frequent sales-related cargo movements.


What is Sales Turn-Over Policy (STOP)?

The Sales Turn-Over Policy (STOP) is an annual marine insurance policy that covers all transits arising from the sales turnover of a business. Instead of issuing separate policies for each dispatch or shipment, STOP provides blanket coverage for a company’s entire turnover (sales + purchases + stock transfers).

This system simplifies insurance management while ensuring that every transit—whether inward or outward—is automatically covered.


Key Features of STOP Policy

1. Covers the Entire Turnover

The policy is based on the business’s total turnover, which may include:

  • Sales turnover
  • Purchase turnover
  • Inter-factory / warehouse transfers
  • Export & import shipments
  • Subcontractor movements

2. Automatic & Continuous Coverage

Every movement of goods related to the turnover is covered automatically without the need for individual policies.

3. Declaration-Based System

The insured submits monthly or periodic turnover declarations. Premium adjustments are made accordingly based on:

  • Total turnover
  • Type of goods
  • Transit modes

4. Flexible and Business-Friendly

STOP adapts to the insured’s business size and shipment frequency, making it suitable for large manufacturers, exporters, distributors, and logistics-driven businesses.


What Does STOP Cover?

STOP covers all risks associated with:

  • Domestic transit (road, rail, inland waterways)
  • Imports & exports (air, sea)
  • Internal stock transfers between warehouses/factories
  • Movements to customers, suppliers & subcontractors

Losses covered include:

  • Damage due to accidents
  • Fire, explosion
  • Theft or burglary during transit
  • Natural calamities such as floods, storms, earthquakes
  • Loading/unloading damages
  • Weather-related damages
  • Transit-related unforeseen risks

(Coverage depends on the chosen clauses — Inland Transit (ITC), Institute Cargo Clauses (ICC), etc.)


Who Should Opt for STOP Policy?

This policy is ideal for businesses with frequent or high-volume movement of goods, such as:

  • Manufacturing companies
  • Wholesale distributors
  • Exporters and importers
  • Logistics-intensive industries
  • Companies with multiple warehouses/factories
  • EPC, engineering, textile, chemical & FMCG industries
