Incoterms for Panel Export: FOB, CIF, and What African Buyers Should Know

Common Incoterms for Panel Export

FOB (Free on Board): Seller delivers to port of shipment; buyer arranges ocean freight and insurance. Common for experienced importers with freight forwarder relationships.

CIF (Cost, Insurance, Freight): Seller arranges freight and insurance to destination port. Simpler for first-time importers but requires clear port specification.

What to Confirm in Your RFQ

  • Named port of destination (Mombasa, Tema, Durban, etc.)
  • Whether insurance is included
  • Documentation package list
  • Who arranges customs clearance at destination
