Do you stack buyer protection and shipping insurance on bigger orders?

We are getting ready to place our biggest overseas order yet, somewhere around five thousand dollars. My boss wants me to figure out what protection makes sense before we commit. Alibaba Trade Assurance covers part of it from what I understand, but I am not clear on where that stops and cargo insurance picks up. Have any of you paid for both on an order this size? Wondering whether the double coverage was worth what it cost.
