Are FOB or CIF suitable for a road-only quotation?

Xinbeidao · purchasing knowledge · Updated: 2026-10-02

FOB and CIF are sea and inland-waterway rules, so they should not be the default for road-only delivery. Assess FCA, CPT, CIP or DAP for road or multimodal arrangements according to agreed responsibilities.

  1. Specify transport mode and named delivery point.
  2. Separate costs, risk, insurance and customs duties.
  3. Record the selected rule and place in the contract.

Scope: verify against the actual unit, use and destination.
