Heavy cargo shipping: Payment and price terms

Kernpunkte

  • Common terms are 30% deposit with balance before shipment, or a sight letter of credit; FOB, CFR and CIF dominate, with CFR preferred where local insurance is mandatory such as Kenya.
  • Combine the shipping plan with destination port capability and inland roads; ocean freight alone understates cost.
  • This compiles public rules for pre-shipment checks; applicable categories, inspection bodies and documents are confirmed by the destination authority and the importer.
