Insurance must not be exported pursuant to § 58-32-16 if there is coverage readily available from an authorized insurer, unless the authorized insurer quotes a premium or terms not competitive with the premium or terms quoted by an unauthorized insurer. If one portion of the risk is acceptable to an authorized insurer, but another portion of the same risk is not acceptable, the entire coverage may be placed with an eligible unauthorized insurer, if it can be shown that an eligible unauthorized insurer will accept the entire coverage but not the rejected portion alone.
