FOB Colombo vs CIF Jebel Ali for Cinnamon Imports

Understand cost, control and responsibility when comparing two common quotation bases.

01

FOB Colombo

The seller delivers according to the agreed FOB responsibilities at Colombo, while the buyer arranges the main carriage and associated destination planning.

02

CIF Jebel Ali

A CIF quotation includes cost, insurance and freight to the named port under the agreed Incoterm, while destination charges and import processes still need careful review.
