product liability

Hi,

I am in the process of importing a drink (non-alcoholic) from Thailand
for resale in the US. I understand that there is little use in the
manufacturer having liability insurance (not enforceable?) but as the
importer of this product I was told (by an insurance agent) that - by
law - I have to have product liability insurance - and that it costs
anywhere from $5000 upwards - if an insurance company wants to "touch" a
new company.
Having done all the research , found clients and a supplier (as well as
a customs broker) I am now stuck. Any ideas?

Thanks

Leo
