The seller makes the goods available at their premises. From that point onward, the buyer assumes most transportation costs, risks, and logistics responsibilities.
๐ฎ. ๐๐ข๐ (๐๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฒ ๐ข๐ป ๐๐ผ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฑ)
The seller is responsible until the goods are loaded onto the vessel. Once onboard, the buyer takes over the risk and arranges the main freight and insurance.
๐ฏ. ๐๐๐ (๐๐ผ๐๐, ๐๐ป๐๐๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ & ๐๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ถ๐ด๐ต๐)
The seller pays for ocean freight and minimum insurance to the destination port. However, the risk transfers to the buyer once the goods are loaded onto the vessel.
๐ฐ. ๐๐๐ฅ (๐๐ผ๐๐ & ๐๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ถ๐ด๐ต๐)
The seller pays the freight cost to the destination port, while the buyer arranges insurance. Risk transfers when the goods are loaded onto the ship.
๐ฑ. ๐๐๐ฃ (๐๐ฒ๐น๐ถ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐๐๐๐ ๐ฃ๐ฎ๐ถ๐ฑ)
The seller takes responsibility for almost the entire journeyโincluding transportation, customs clearance, import duties, and final deliveryโmaking it one of the most convenient terms for the buyer.
