Navigating the complexities of international trade requires precise information. At CHARIS GLOBAL, we provide the essential data and tools you need to plan your shipments, calculate costs, and ensure regulatory compliance.
Understanding Incoterms is vital for defining the responsibilities of buyers and sellers. These terms determine who handles freight, insurance, and customs clearance at every stage of the journey.
The seller makes the goods available at their premises; the buyer bears all risks and costs from there.
The seller delivers goods on board the vessel; risk transfers to the buyer once the goods are on the ship.
Seller pays for transport and insurance to the destination port, but risk transfers once goods are on the vessel.
The seller bears all risks and costs, including duties and taxes, to the buyer’s destination.
Seller delivers to a named place; the buyer handles import clearance and duties.
Choosing the right equipment is key to optimizing your cargo space and reducing costs. Refer to our quick guide for standard ISO container specifications.
