Choosing the Right Incoterm for Your Food Shipment

Overview

FOB, CIF, CFR, DAP — a plain-language explainer for importers negotiating with new suppliers.

Key considerations

• Regulatory framework and paperwork required at origin and destination
• Typical pricing structures and how incoterms shift risk and cost
• Packaging, labelling and shelf-life expectations for your buyers
• Certifications (ISO 22000, HACCP, Halal, BRC/IFS) requested by retail chains
