FOB/CIF/DDP/DDU

Our services

FOB/CIF/DDP/DDU

In international logistics, FOB, CIF, DDP, and DDU are crucial trade terms that define the responsibilities and costs of freight transportation between buyers and sellers. Under FOB, the seller covers the domestic expenses before loading the goods onto the vessel. Once loaded, the risks and subsequent costs shift to the buyer, who takes the lead in transportation arrangements. This suits buyers familiar with the shipping industry. Based on FOB, CIF requires the seller to additionally bear the freight and insurance costs to the destination port, which benefits sellers with rich export experience and the ability to integrate logistics and insurance resources.

In DDP, the seller has the greatest responsibility, needing to deliver the goods, clear customs, and pay duties, while the buyer just waits for the delivery. It’s applicable when the buyer wants convenience and the seller has a strong supply chain. Similar to DDP, DDU means the buyer pays the import duties and the seller handles transportation and customs clearance (excluding taxes). It’s often used for internal allocations within multinational corporations and initial overseas market deployments by emerging e-commerce companies. These terms offer diverse options for international trade and facilitate the global flow of commerce.

Some Precautions

Know the Prohibited Items

Different countries, regions, and even different consolidators have different definitions of prohibited items. Items such as inflammable, explosive substances, drugs, some pharmaceuticals, and controlled knives are strictly prohibited from being shipped. Before shipping, please make sure to verify carefully to avoid potential risks and troubles.

Verify Weight and Volume Limits

In each stage of consolidated shipping, from warehouse receipt, carrier acceptance, to customs inspection, there may be specific limits on the weight and volume of the goods. Overweight and oversized goods may not only incur additional charges but also face rejection. It is crucial to know in advance and plan your goods arrangements reasonably.

Pay Attention to Freight Calculation Rules

Freight is calculated based on multiple factors, including the weight, volume, shipping distance, and transportation mode of the goods. In addition, some consolidators also have additional charges such as fuel surcharges and registration fees. Before shipping, please make sure to understand the billing details from the consolidator to avoid freight disputes.

Choose a Reputable Consolidator

The current consolidated shipping market is a mixed bag. A reputable consolidator is your safe choice. They have complete qualifications, a good reputation, and a professional service team. Checking their business licenses and user reviews can help you make a discerning choice, effectively reducing shipping risks and ensuring the safety and timeliness of your goods.

FOB International Cargo Port-to-Port Transportation Services

In the ever-changing landscape of international trade, the FOB (Free on Board) term has always held a crucial position, building a stable and flexible trading bridge for import and export enterprises. Now, we focus on the FOB-based international cargo port-to-port transportation services, offering professional, efficient, and considerate support to pave a precise passage for your goods to travel globally.

Basic Introduction of FOB Term

FOB, which stands for Free on Board (named port of shipment), stipulates that once the seller loads the goods onto the vessel designated by the buyer at the contracted port of shipment, the risk of the goods is immediately transferred to the buyer. Under this model, as the buyer, you shoulder the responsibility of arranging transportation and paying freight. From the moment the goods cross the ship’s rail, you take control of the transportation lifeline of the goods and possess the great power to independently plan the subsequent logistics journey. This allows you to flexibly allocate resources according to your own business tempo and market demands.

CIF International Cargo Port-to-Port Transportation Services

In the field of international trade, the CIF (Cost, Insurance and Freight) clause serves as a reliable guide for enterprises. Under this clause, the seller is responsible for loading the goods at the port of shipment, bearing the freight to the port of destination and the full insurance coverage until the goods cross the ship’s rail at the port of destination. Only then does the risk transfer to the buyer, allowing the buyer to focus on core business.

Basic Introduction of CIF Clause

The CIF clause clearly defines the division of labor between the buyer and the seller. The seller plays a crucial role in the early stage of transnational logistics. They need to ensure that the goods are safely transported from the place of origin to the port of shipment and loaded onto the ship, pay for the freight of the subsequent voyage, and purchase sufficient insurance to protect the goods. The buyer takes over after the goods safely cross the ship’s rail, simplifying the operation process and concentrating on key business expansion.

DDP International Freight Transportation Service

In today’s wave of globalization, efficient, convenient and reliable international freight transportation services are of utmost importance. We specialize in providing international door-to-door freight transportation services under the DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) terms, completely relieving you of the worries of cross-border logistics.

Basic Introduction

Under DDP, we undertake all the responsibilities of delivering the goods to the designated destination and completing customs clearance and duty payment. You just need to wait for the goods to arrive, without having to worry about the complicated customs declaration, clearance procedures and tax payment matters. There are two common scenarios under this mode:

For enterprises with a certain scale and import and export qualifications, when the declarant and consignee on the customs declaration are the actual shipper and consignee, you have direct control over the trade process. Even if part of the declaration requires the agency operation of a qualified company, we can ensure the smooth progress of the entire process. It is especially suitable for the transportation of large quantities of goods by companies, which can not only demonstrate the strength of the enterprise but also ensure the on-time and quality delivery of the goods.

For companies or individuals without relevant import and export qualifications and lacking the ability to handle customs declaration and clearance, as well as in the case of transporting sensitive goods, we provide “double clearance and tax-included” services. That is, the declarant and consignee on the customs declaration are both handled by our agency through a qualified company.
