FOB / CIF Quotation
Understand how FOB and CIF quotation works for small agricultural machinery orders, including shipping arrangements, buyer responsibilities, and destination port requirements.
Choose the Right Quotation Term for Your Order
Ignis Terra Machinery supports FOB and CIF quotation options for distributors, importers, wholesalers, and commercial buyers. The best option depends on whether you already have a freight forwarder or need us to assist with sea freight arrangements.
FOB Free On Board
FOB is suitable for buyers who already have their own freight forwarder in China. We prepare the goods, arrange export-ready packaging, and deliver them to the agreed Chinese loading port according to the quotation details.
CIF Cost, Insurance & Freight
CIF is suitable for buyers who want us to help arrange sea freight to the destination port. The buyer is still responsible for import customs clearance, duties, taxes, destination port charges, and local delivery after arrival.
