Trade terms and how to compare quotations
A reference for every category: what the usual trade and payment terms mean, and the points to check when you compare quotations.
| Term | Type | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| EXW | Incoterm | The buyer collects the goods at the seller's premises and pays every cost from there. |
| FCA | Incoterm | The seller hands the goods, cleared for export, to the buyer's carrier at a named place. |
| FOB | Incoterm | The seller loads the goods on the vessel at the port of loading; freight is the buyer's. |
| CFR | Incoterm | The seller pays sea freight to the destination port; the risk passes once loaded. |
| CIF | Incoterm | Like CFR, and the seller also insures the goods until the destination port. |
| CPT | Incoterm | The seller pays carriage to a named place; the risk passes at the first carrier. |
| CIP | Incoterm | Like CPT, and the seller also insures the goods to the named place. |
| DAP | Incoterm | The seller delivers to a named place, ready for unloading; import duties are the buyer's. |
| DPU | Incoterm | The seller delivers and unloads the goods at a named place in the destination country. |
| DDP | Incoterm | The seller delivers to the buyer's place and pays import duties and taxes too. |
| FAS | Incoterm | The seller places the goods alongside the vessel at the port of loading. |
| T/T | Payment term | A bank transfer, often a deposit before production and the balance against documents. |
| L/C | Payment term | A letter of credit, under which the buyer's bank pays once the shipping documents match its terms. |
| D/P | Payment term | Documents against payment, where the buyer gets the shipping documents once it pays. |
| D/A | Payment term | Documents against acceptance, where the buyer gets the documents by accepting to pay later. |
| CAD | Payment term | Cash against documents, where payment is made when the shipping documents are presented. |
| Bank Transfer | Payment term | A direct transfer between bank accounts, agreed in the contract. |
| Escrow | Payment term | A third party holds the payment until the buyer confirms delivery. |
| Cash | Payment term | Payment in cash, usually only for small or local orders. |
Name the Incoterm with a place, and agree it and the payment term in writing before production starts.
| Point | What to check | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Incoterm and place | Every quotation names the same Incoterm and port or place. | Prices on FOB and on CIF differ by the freight and the insurance. |
| Specification | The grade, size or composition quoted matches the one asked for. | A lower grade can hide behind a lower price. |
| Quantity and MOQ | The price is for the quantity ordered, above the minimum order. | Unit prices change with the order size. |
| Packaging | Packing type, size and labelling are stated and the same. | Custom packing adds cost. |
| Payment term | The payment term and the deposit asked. | It moves the risk between buyer and seller. |
| Lead time | The production and shipping time to the destination. | A late shipment can cost more than a higher price. |
| Documents | The certificates and export documents included. | Missing papers can block customs. |
| Validity | How long the quoted price holds. | Quotations are often valid for a limited time only. |
Ask every counterpart to quote on the same basis: only then does the lower price win.
