Strengthen Your Supply ChainThe Vital Role of Incoterms 2020
Incoterms are a set of 11 internationally recognized rules defining the responsibilities of sellers and buyers. They determine exactly who pays for transport, insurance, and duties, and critically, where the risk transfers from seller to buyer.
"Choosing FOB versus DDP can dramatically change your total landed cost and liability. We ensure your choice aligns with your financial and operational goals."
EXW (Ex Works)
Maximum responsibility on the buyer. The seller makes the goods available at their premises.
FOB (Free On Board)
The seller delivers goods on board the vessel nominated by the buyer. Risk transfers once loaded.

Maximum responsibility on the seller. The seller delivers goods to the buyer, cleared for import.
