Asking for an FOB price on an air shipment is the most common trade-term mismatch on an export enquiry. FOB and CIF are sea and inland waterway rules. Pick your routing and this tells you which of the four terms UD Packaging quotes actually apply to it.
Transport Routing
The four terms UD Packaging quotes
| Term | Applies to | Insurance carried by seller |
|---|---|---|
| FCA — Free Carrier | Any mode of transport | No |
| CIP — Carriage and Insurance Paid To | Any mode of transport | Yes |
| FOB — Free on Board | Sea and inland waterway only | No |
| CIF — Cost, Insurance and Freight | Sea and inland waterway only | Yes |
Reference Notes
Source and model assumptions stated plainly: the International Trade Administration of the U.S. Department of Commerce groups the eleven Incoterms 2020 rules into seven for any mode of transport and four for sea and inland waterway transport. This tool covers only the four terms UD Packaging quotes, not all eleven. The same source records that Incoterms do not identify the contract price, do not reference the method or timing of payment, and do not determine when title passes; those sit in the quotation and the sales contract instead. Price, minimum order quantity, production timing, payment arrangement and trade terms are confirmed in the written quotation.
