Incoterms for India–Europe Metal Component Shipments
FOB Indian port transfers risk at vessel loading — buyer controls ocean freight and import clearance. Common for experienced importers with logistics teams.
CIF includes freight and insurance to destination port but risk transfers at loading. Verify insurance coverage matches component value.
DAP/DDP delivers to your plant — supplier or integrator manages full chain. Higher supplier responsibility, simpler for European buyers focused on plant operations.
Document Incoterm, named place, and responsibility split in every purchase order. Misaligned Incoterms create cost surprises at customs.
