FOB vs CIF vs DDP
FOB puts the goods on board at the Chinese port and hands both cost and risk to the buyer there. CIF adds freight and insurance to the destination port but risk still transfers at loading. DDP carries everything — freight, duty, clearance — to the buyer's door. Experienced African importers buy FOB and run their own freight; first-time buyers into the EAEU often want DDP because the Declaration of Conformity is registered on their side anyway.

Versus
Quel terme un importateur africain devrait-il utiliser?
FOB Ningbo or Shanghai, in most cases. Morocco's large importers and Senegal's growing ones run their own freight contracts and clearance, and FOB lets them compare tea price without freight noise. CIF is useful when comparing landed-port offers across suppliers.
Pourquoi DDP est différent en Russie ?
DDP into Russia is different because EAEU clearance depends on a Declaration of Conformity registered by an importer or representative established inside the Union. A seller offering DDP into Russia must have that representative in place; the term does not remove the requirement.
Questions fréquentes
CIF signifie-t-il que le vendeur est à risque pour la destination?
N°. En vertu du code CIF, le vendeur paie le fret et l'assurance au port de destination, mais les transferts de risque sont effectués lorsque les marchandises sont à bord à l'origine.
What Incoterms does ODM Tea quote?
FOB, CFR or CIF for sea freight, loading at Ningbo or Shanghai as confirmed in the quotation. Central Asia is quoted by rail through Khorgos–Altynkol under a rule for any mode of transport, because FOB, CFR and CIF apply only to sea and inland waterway. Destination-side terms are offered only where import responsibility is documented.
