Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our shipping & freight forwarding – door-to-door logistics services.

Incoterms define who pays for shipping, insurance, and customs at each stage. FOB (Free On Board) is common for sea freight where you arrange shipping from port. DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) means seller handles everything to your door. We recommend EXW or FOB for cost control, or DDP for simplicity. We explain all options.
