a. EXW( Ex-works)You must arrange all exporting procedures such as transportation,customs declaration,shipment,documents and so on.

b.FOB (Free on Board): Normally we export from Tianjin Xingang port.

For LCL goods,as the price we quote is EXW, customers need to pay extra FOB cost, depending on total volume of the shipment. The FOB fee is same as our forwarder’s quotation, no other hidden cost.Under the terms of FOB,we will handle all exporting process like loading the container,delivery to the loading port and prepare all customs declaration documents.Your own forwarder will manage shipping from departure port to your country. 

Note:LCL means less than one container loaded

FCL means Full container loaded

c. CIF (Cost Insurance and Freight)

We arrange delivery to your appointed  port.But you need to arrange picking up the goods from destination port to your warehouse and deal with import process.

Tips: Usually forwarders will quote very low CIF fee in China to win orders, but charge a lot when you pick up cargo at the port destination, much more than the total cost of using FOB term. If you have reliable forwarder in your country, FOB or EXW term will be better than CIF.
