International trade terms
Cost, insurance and transportation (CIF). This is an international shipping agreement, which represents the charges a seller pays to cover the costs, insurance and shipping of a buyer's order while the cargo is in transit.

Until the goods are delivered to the buyer's port of destination, the seller assumes the cost of any loss or damage to the product. In addition, if the product requires additional customs duties, export documents, or inspections or re-routing, the seller must cover these costs. However, as soon as the goods arrive at the buyer's port of destination, the buyer assumes responsibility for any charges or charges for unloading and delivering the shipment to the final destination.
