The importer of goods for export control, FOB price conditions, because it is linked with the carrier deployed to guide the importer of the goods once the shipment, the importer if you want to resell the goods in transit or destination, or take other remedies, also gone through quite a number of twists and turns.

Cargo question of convergence can be a better solution, CIF price of the export conditions. Allows importers to have more flexibility and mobility. Under normal circumstances, as long as the importers to ensure the delivery of the goods comply with the contract, as long as the documentation submitted is complete, correct, the importer must pay.
