The Challenges
High-value AI gear is being imported across borders
The data center cannot act as the IOR
Ensuring the hardware is protected while operational
Protecting Sensitive Gear
They needed to deploy highly specialized GPU racks in a Swedish data center. Their concern was protecting the gear, not just during transport but while operational—plugged in and powering innovation on foreign soil.
Here’s the problem: Data centers can’t act as Importer of Record (IOR) and won’t assume liability for hardware operating on their premises. While they ensure power and general site safety, they aren’t responsible if your equipment gets damaged.
As a foreign entity, the client couldn’t secure local insurance in Sweden. Traditional marine cargo policies only cover goods in motion – not active, plugged-in tech.
They were left with two questions:
- How do we legally get our hardware into Sweden?
- How do we protect it once it’s operational?
We know one size doesn’t fit all. That’s why our agile offerings are built to solve even the most niche pain points with tailor-made solutions.

Leveraging our Liability Cover, we extended protection from pick-up to final delivery and beyond. While the product had never before been applied to equipment in use, our global capabilities and IOR status allowed us to create a first-of-its-kind, bespoke insurance solution.
The result? Full coverage while the hardware ran in the Swedish data center.
By pairing our DDP solution with a custom on-site insurance policy, we helped the client safeguard their strategic infrastructure and confidently enter a new market.
