The most popular terms for exported containers from China are FOB (Free on Board) conditions (about 90%), according to which Chinese Seller is obliged to deliver the goods on board a vessel nominated by the Buyer in the port of loading specified by the Buyer. The Buyer accordingly, is obliged at his own expense to conclude a contract for the carriage of goods from the named port of shipment. Customs clearance in China is provided by the Seller / Shipper, who must have an export license in China (or by a freight forwarder on Shipper behalf). Customs clearance in the Buyer’s country provides the Buyer himself.
Buyers of small container lots generally work with shipping line agents via the forwarders.
A small part of Sellers in China prefer to sell goods on CFR / CIF terms, paying for the sea freight, as well as for cargo insurance in favour of the Buyer (on CIF terms). The risk of such delivery terms using is that the Seller, as a rule, seeks to save on sea transportation and buys out the cheapest freight not including unloading of the container from the vessel at the port of destination, terminal / port charges at the port of destination and even often, container reloading at intermediate ports of transshipment. After all these charges are borne by the Buyer.
