📦 Understanding Shipping Terms: FOB vs CIF vs DAP vs DDP 🌍

If you're importing or exporting goods, knowing the difference between these international trade terms can save you money—and avoid costly surprises.

Here’s a quick guide:

🔹 FOB (Free on Board) – Seller covers costs up to loading the goods onto the ship. Buyer handles everything after.

🔹 CIF (Cost, Insurance & Freight) – Seller pays for shipping and insurance to the destination port. Buyer takes over from there.

🔹 DAP (Delivered at Place) – Seller handles everything up to the buyer’s door (except import duties and unloading).

🔹 DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) – Full service! Seller covers everything, including duties and taxes. Door-to-door delivery.

✅ Whether you want full control or a hands-off shipping experience, choosing the right Incoterm matters.
