Replacement Values For Insurance

This chamber of commerce you many requests for help with replacement values of product for insurance. This page discusses the process of getting a replacement value.

In general this Chamber of Commerce deals with providing information from factories in Poland. The factories in Poland sell products wholesale and the value of a product fixed by a company at the factory does not reflect the replacement value of that product that you need for insurance.

The factories sell wholesale only and their quoted prices are fixed in terms of the purchase of thousands of dollars of product at any one time. They do not reflect the retail cost or replacement value of a product in your home country.

To get that value for insurance you must contact a retailer in your country to get the price.

There may be some family heirlooms, such as crystal or jewelry, that can be a custom-made for you. In that case you are looking at the replacement, in reality, of an antique and you must get a quote on that particular product. The artists who make this type product ask, however, for a quotation see.

For other items such as pottery, production glass or art glass you must contact a retailer in your home country.

We would like to help but we as a Chamber of Commerce do not maintain price lists and we do not have a historical file. Likewise we do not know who sells any particular product in the various countries around the world. That is proprietary information that is held close to the chest by the factories who are very jealous of their distributor network and do not reveal who belongs to it - even to us.
