EXW

Buyer arranges pickup from seller premises. Maximum buyer control and responsibility.

FOB

Seller delivers goods on board at named port; common for sea freight chemical exports.

CIF

Seller covers cost, insurance and freight to destination port; buyer still handles import clearance.

FAQ

Which Incoterm should I pick?

If you have a forwarder, FOB is common. New importers sometimes prefer CIF for simplicity—compare total landed cost.
