• Property of others in the insured’s care, custody or control
• Property on consignment
• Property sold but not delivered
• A block policy will cover loss caused by most perils (including transportation), subject to certain limitations as specified in the policy exclusions. Common block policies are jeweler’s block and furrier’s block policies.
