Electronic equipment insurance (EEI) covers sudden and accidental damage to specified electronics — servers, UPS, lab instruments, CNC controllers.

Imported gear?
SI at landed cost including duty.
Rental equipment?
Declare owner vs lessee — insurer may need lessor NOC.
Premium driver?
Location, fire protection, equipment age.
