    Yes. If you buy from a commercial importer, that company is liable. But, as I said, if a private individual buys directly from China, that person is liable for the damages done due to a faulty product. So as a private individual you’d need that insurance, not only if you decide to resell the product. If your usb charger from AliExpress bursts into flames and burns down your house, harming your neighbour you are liable. If you bought it from an importer, the importer would be liable.

      Makes sense. Same as you’re liable if you use a candle and it catches something on fire or forget a water tap open during the day and it overflows flooding your appartment and the one of your neighbour below.

      By yeah, it’s a valid point.
