FOB Chattogram Paper Cone Export Terms

In practice, that means our responsibility for the shipment ends once the cartons are loaded onto the vessel at Chattogram port — production, carton packing, inland transport, port handling and loading are all included in the FOB price. From that point, the buyer arranges and pays for ocean freight, marine insurance if wanted, destination port charges, customs clearance, and import duty. Risk transfers at the same point: once the cartons are on board, the ocean leg is the buyer's (or their insurer's) responsibility. Many buyers use a freight forwarder to handle the booking and destination clearance on their side — we can work directly with your forwarder for documentation.

FOB vs CIF for Cost Planning

The FOB price is the cost of the cones at the port of export — it does not include freight or insurance. CIF (Cost, Insurance and Freight) is FOB plus ocean freight plus marine insurance to your destination port. A FOB quote and a CIF quote for the same order aren't directly comparable until freight and insurance are added to the FOB figure — and CIF value is typically the base your customs authority calculates import duty against.
