💡 A question for the logistics experts: What's the difference between CIF and FOB Incoterms? Answer: CIF transport terms and FOB (Free on Board) are almost identical, the difference being that with CIF the seller bears the transport costs to the port of destination and also takes out insurance. When it comes to Incoterms, it can be hard to know which terms best suit your shipping needs. Fortunately, our team makes it easy, allowing you more time to focus on the day-to-day running of your business.
