What do the delivery terms mean? We have added the most current shipping terms and if yours is not added please put N/A.

FOB –Freight on Board - means that the seller pays for transportation of the goods to the port of shipment, plus loading costs. The buyer pays cost of marine freight transport, insurance, unloading, and transportation from the arrival port to the final destination. The passing of risks occurs when the goods pass the ship's rail at the port of shipment.

FAS-- free alongside ship  -- Term of sale signifying that the price invoiced or quoted by a seller includes all charges only up to the ship at the port of departure. The buyer is responsible for loading and all subsequent charges.CIF -- The term stands for "Cost + Insurance + Freight" --  This is a global shipping terms which use in international trade. CIF means Cost Insurance and Freight. That means shipper/Trader has to pay the Cost of shipment up to the ship, Insurance cost of cargo and Freight cost up to destination port. FOB stands for Free On Board which means shipper/trader pays only costs up to the ship and Insurance cost, but freight charges is payed by the Buyer/Consignee.

C/F -- Cost & Freight" -- When an order is requested "C &F Destination", Buyer pays Seller (Alken-Murray) cost of products plus cost of transportation. This is normally ONLY requested when Buyer has its own blanket insurance covering transport of any products they purchase from a variety of vendors. Only large company Buyers will consider this option for an overall savings when massive amounts of products are purchased, especially internationally. Buyers without an independent insurance policy risk a heavy loss if shipment is lost or damaged so severely that it becomes worthless. Freight companies offer a standard liability of 40 t0 70 cents per pound of weight and or a cap of $100. per shipment unless insurance for greater value is purchased.

Buyers should also be aware that the maximum insurance you can purchase covers the value reported for customs. If inflated insurance is desired, Seller must report an equally inflated value on the export commercial invoice for customs, so altering the true value in either direction is rarely a wise decision. Undervaluing shipments that are lost can lead to having to repurchase products at true value without complete reimbursement from freight carrier, while over-insurance and valuation can lead to paying higher customs duties.

CFR -- Cost and Freight -- The delivery of goods to the named port of destination (discharge) at the seller's expense. Buyer is responsible for the cargo insurance and other costs and risks. The term CFR was formerly written as C&F. Many importers and exporters worldwide still use the term C&F.
