i am shocked that you were able to clear into customs of anywhere other than Brazil, where you are clearing by legally importing it, only using the PO's papers for documentation of sale.

I guess you just used the PO's documents and call yourself the captain of the PO's boat. but if its not in the USCG database, its good thing they didn't check the it and just took your word on the paperwork.

either way...i don't think any US insurance company is going to be able to help you. Get your Brazilian paperwork and Brazilian insurance.
100% correct.
