Why Incoterms matter
Incoterms define how costs, risk and responsibilities are split between buyer and seller for international footwear shipments. They should always be confirmed in the quotation or order confirmation.
FOB (Free On Board)
The seller delivers goods on board the vessel at the named port of shipment. The buyer typically arranges main carriage and destination charges from that point.
CFR (Cost and Freight)
The seller pays costs and freight to bring goods to the destination port. Risk generally transfers when goods are on board at origin, while the buyer handles import clearance and local charges.
CIF (Cost, Insurance and Freight)
Similar to CFR, with the seller also arranging minimum insurance for main carriage. Buyers should still verify coverage details and destination responsibilities.
Always confirm the exact Incoterm wording, named port and which documents will be supplied. Contact our export team for a quotation with your preferred terms.
