Incoterms:
International Commercial terms (Incoterms) are a series of international sales with terms, published by International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) and widely used
in international commercial transactions. These are accepted by governments, legal authorities and practitioners worldwide for the interpretation of most commonly
used terms in international trade. They are intended to reduce uncertainties arising from different interpretation of such terms in different countries. The scope of
which are limited to matters relating to rights and obligations of the parties to the contract of sale with respect to the delivery of goods sold. They are used to divide
transaction costs and responsibilities between buyer and seller and reflect state-of-the-art transportation practices.

The Incoterms® rules are an internationally recognized standard and are used worldwide in international and domestic contracts for the sale of goods. First
published in 1936, Incoterms® rules provide internationally accepted definitions and rules of interpretation for most common commercial terms.
The rules have been developed and maintained by experts and practitioners brought together by ICC and have become the standard in international business rules
setting. Launched in mid-September 2010, Incoterms® 2010 came into effect on 1 January 2011. They help traders avoid costly misunderstandings by clarifying the
tasks, costs and risks involved in the delivery of goods from sellers to buyers. Incoterms® rules are recognized by United Nations Commission on International
Trade Law (UNCITRAL) as the global standard for the interpretation of the most common terms in foreign trade.

IF insurance is not included in the term (for example, CFR=CNF) then insurance for transport is the responsibility of the buyer/importer or the seller/supplier/factory
depending on who owns the cargo at time of transport. In the case of CFR=CNF terms, it would be the buyer while in the case of CIF or CIP terms, it would be the
seller LCL ( Loose Cargo/Container Load(s) / Less-Than-Container Load / NOT full container ) /// FCL ( Full Container Load / Full CarLoad / Full Cargo Load)

EXW – Ex Works (named place) The seller makes the goods available at his premises. The buyer is responsible for all charges.
This trade term places the greatest responsibility on the buyer and minimum obligations on the seller. The Ex Works term is often used when making an initial
quotation for the sale of goods without any costs included.

EXW means that a seller has the goods ready for collection at his premises (Works, factory, warehouse, plant) on the date agreed upon. The buyer pays all
transportation costs and also bears the risks for bringing the goods to their final destination

(EXW is not to be used for any shipment within EAMER or into/out of EAMER, with no exceptions. FCA is the preferred Incoterms® rule in this case)

FCA – Free Carrier (named places) The seller hands over the goods, cleared for export, into the custody of the first carrier (named by the buyer) at the named place.
This term is suitable for all modes of transport, including carriage by air, rail, road, and containerised / multi-modal sea transport. This is the correct "freight collect"
term to use for sea shipments in containers, whether LCL (less than container load) or FCL (full container load).

FAS – Free Alongside Ship (named loading port) The seller must place the goods alongside the ship at the named port. The seller must clear the goods for export.
Suitable only for maritime transport only but NOT for multimodal sea transport in containers (see Incoterms 2010, ICC publication 715). This term is typically used
for heavy-lift or bulk cargo.

FOB – Free on board (named loading port) The seller must themself load the goods on board the ship nominated by the buyer, cost and risk being divided at ship's
rail. The seller must clear the goods for export. Maritime transport only but NOT for multimodal sea transport in containers (see Incoterms 2010, ICC publication
715). The buyer must instruct the seller the details of the vessel and port where the goods are to be loaded, and there is no reference to, or provision for, the use of a
carrier or forwarder. It does not include Air transport. This term has been greatly misused over the last three decades ever since Incoterms 1980 explained that FCA
should be used for container shipments.

CFR or CNF – Cost and Freight (named destination port) Seller must pay the costs and freight to bring the goods to the port of destination. However, risk is
transferred to the buyer once the goods have crossed the ship's rail. Maritime transport only and Insurance for the goods is NOT included. Insurance is at the Cost of
the Buyer.

CIF – Cost, Insurance and Freight (named destination port) Exactly the same as CFR except that the seller must in addition procure and pay for insurance for the
buyer. Maritime transport only.

CPT – Carriage Paid To (named place of destination) The general/containerised/multimodal equivalent of CFR. The seller pays for carriage to the named point of
destination, but risk passes when the goods are handed over to the first carrier.

CIP – Carriage and Insurance Paid (To) (named place of destination) The containerised transport/multimodal equivalent of CIF. Seller pays for carriage and
insurance to the named destination point, but risk passes when the goods are handed over to the first carrier.

CFR or CNF – Cost and Freight (named destination port) Seller must pay the costs and freight to bring the goods to the port of destination. However, risk is
transferred to the buyer once the goods have crossed the ship's rail. Maritime transport only and Insurance for the goods is NOT included. Insurance is at the Cost of
the Buyer.

CIF – Cost, Insurance and Freight (named destination port) Exactly the same as CFR except that the seller must in addition procure and pay for insurance for the
buyer. Maritime transport only.

CPT – Carriage Paid To (named place of destination) The general/containerised/multimodal equivalent of CFR. The seller pays for carriage to the named point of
destination, but risk passes when the goods are handed over to the first carrier.

CIP – Carriage and Insurance Paid (To) (named place of destination) The containerised transport/multimodal equivalent of CIF. Seller pays for carriage and
insurance to the named destination point, but risk passes when the goods are handed over to the first carrier

DAF – Delivered At Frontier (Deliveplace) This term can be used when the goods are transported by rail and road. The seller pays for transportation to the named
place of delivery at the frontier. The buyer arranges for customs clearance and pays for transportation from the frontier to his factory. The passing of risk occurs at the
frontier.

DES – Delivered Ex Ship (named port) Where goods are delivered ex ship, the passing of risk does not occur until the ship has arrived at the named port of
destination and the goods made available for unloading to the buyer. The seller pays the same freight and insurance costs as he would under a CIF arrangement.
Unlike CFR and CIF terms, the seller has agreed to bear not just cost, but also Risk and Title up to the arrival of the vessel at the named port. Costs for unloading
the goods and any duties, taxes, etc… are for the Buyer. A commonly used term in shipping bulk commodities, such as coal, grain, dry chemicals - - - and where the
seller either owns or has chartered, their own vessel.

DEQ – Delivered Ex Quay (named port) This is similar to DES, but the passing of risk does not occur until the goods have been unloaded at the port of destination.
(DAT replaces DEQ.)

DDU – Delivered Duty Unpaid (named destination place) This term means that the seller delivers the goods to the buyer to the named place of destination in the
contract of sale. The goods are not cleared for import or unloaded from any form of transport at the place of destination. The buyer is responsible for the costs and
risks for the unloading, duty and any subsequent delivery beyond the place of destination. However, if the buyer wishes the seller to bear cost and risks associated
with the import clearance, duty, unloading and subsequent delivery beyond the place of destination, then this all needs to be explicitly agreed upon in the contract of
sale.

DAP - Delivered At Place (named destination place) This term means that the seller delivers when the goods are placed at the disposal of the buyer on the arriving
means of transport ready for unloading at the named place of destination. This is exactly what the old Incoterm DDU stipulated. (DAP replaces DDU, DES, DAF.)

DDP – Delivered Duty Paid (named destination place) This term means that the seller pays for all transportation costs and bears all risk until the goods have been
delivered and pays the duty. Also used interchangeably with the term "Free Domicile". The most comprehensive term for the buyer. In most of the importing
countries, taxes such as (but not limited to) VAT and excises should not be considered prepaid being handled as a "refundable" tax. Therefore VAT and excises
usually are not representing a direct cost for the importer since they will be recovered against the sales on the local (domestic) market.
(DDP is not to be used for any shipment into/out of the EU or other non-EU Customs administrative area. DAP is the preferred Incoterms® rule in this case. For any
shipment within the EU or other non-EU Customs administrative area, DDP is acceptable.)

New arrival incoterms have been discussed in the Incoterms 2010 brought out by the ICC and DAT and DAP have replaced DAF,DES,DEQ and DDU Given here is
a small explanation provided by the ICC Two new Incoterms rules – DAT and DAP – have replaced the Incoterms 2000 rules DAF, DES, DEQ and DDU

The number of Incoterms® rules has been reduced from 13 to 11. This has been achieved by substituting two new rules that may be used irrespective of the agreed
mode of transport – DAT, Delivered at Terminal, and DAP, Delivered at Place – for the Incoterms® 2000 rules DAF, DES, DEQ and DDU.

Under both new rules, delivery occurs at a named destination: in DAT, at the buyer’s disposal unloaded from the arriving vehicle (as under the former DEQ rule); in
DAP, likewise at the buyer’s disposal, but ready for unloading (as under the former DAF, DES and DDU rules).

The new rules make the Incoterms® 2000 rules DES and DEQ superfluous. The named terminal in DAT may well be in a port, and DAT can therefore safely be used
in cases where the Incoterms® 2000 rule DEQ once was. Likewise, the arriving “vehicle” under DAP may well be a ship and the named place of destination may
well be a port: consequently, DAP can safely be used in cases where the Incoterms® 2000 rule DES once was. These new rules, like their predecessors, are
“delivered”, with the seller bearing all the costs (other than those related to import clearance, where applicable) and risks involved in bringing the goods to the
named place of destination

International Organization for Standardization ( “ISO” Containers ).
An intermodal container or freight container (commonly known as: shipping container or box) is a reusable transport and storage unit for moving products between
locations or countries; the terms container or box may be used on their own within the context of shipping. Containers manufactured to ISO specifications may be
referred to as ISO containers and the term high-cube container is used for units that are taller than normal.

Measurement
There are two common standard lengths used to ship wine, spirits and other select beverages, 20 ft and 40 ft standard containers. Container capacity is often
expressed in twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU, or sometimes teu). An equivalent unit is a measure of containerized cargo capacity equal to one standard 20 ft (length)
× 8 ft (width) container. As this is an approximate measure, the height of the box is not considered; for example, the 9 ft 6 in (2.9 m) high cube and the 4-foot-3-inch (1.3
m) half height 20-foot (6.1 m) containers are also called one TEU. Similarly, 45 ft (13.72 m) containers are also commonly designated as two TEU’s, although they are
45 and not 40 feet (12.19 m) long. Two TEU’s are equivalent to one forty-foot equivalent unit (FEU).

Weight (Max Payload)
The maximum gross mass for a 20 ft (6.1 m) dry cargo container is 24,000 kg, and for a 40-ft (including the 2.87 m (9 ft 6 in) high cube container), it is 30,480 kg.
Allowing for the tare mass of the container, the maximum payload mass is therefore reduced to approximately 22,000 kg for 20 ft (6.1 m), and 27,000 kg for 40 ft (12 m)
containers.

*Over the road weight restrictions vary state to state so please confirm prior to loading.

Loading Cases
20 ft container: 10 pallets (avg) / 34,000 lbs
40 ft container: 20 pallets (avg) / 44,000 lbs

Each shipment is unique and depends on product weight, size and whether it is palletized or floor loaded.

========================================================================================

A cubic meter is something 1 meter long by 1 meter wide by 1 meter high
(or 3.28 feet long by 3.28 feet wide by 3.28 feet high) ( 1m * 1m * 1m = 1 CUBIC METER)
3.28ft * 3.28ft * 3.28ft = 35 CUBIC FEET = 1 CUBIC METER

Technically cubic meter could be any combination of lengths as long as all three dimensions multiplied together equals 1.
0.5m * 0.5m * 4m = 1 CUBIC METER
5ft * 7ft * 1ft = 35 CUBIC FEET = 1 CUBIC METER

1 cubic meter = 35.314667 cubic feet
1 meter = 3.28084 foot (rounded)
(1m x 1m x 1m) = 1 m3 = (3.28084ft x 3.28084ft x 3.28084ft) = 35.3147 ft3 (rounded)

Shipping of 20 boxes sizes of 18”x14”x12” is equal to shipping 1.42 CUBIC METERS
(20x1.50’x1.67’x1’ = 50.1 cubic feet = 1.42 CUBIC METERS)

Shipping of 6 boxes sizes of 18”x18”x22” is equal to shipping 0.7 CUBIC METER**
(6x1.50’x1.50’x1.83’ = 24.7 cubic feet = 0.7 CUBIC METERS)

One metric meter = aprx. 3.28 metric feet
ONE CUBIC METER = aprx. 35 CUBIC FEET

Cubic Meter in FCL (Full Container Load in Ocean Freight)

As a rule international ocean freight rates with FCL - Full Container Load in the international ocean freight industry are based on
type on ocean freight containers, but on weight or volume shipped goods. In respect of the cubic meter shipper should be aware of
CUBIC CAPACITIES AND PAYLOADS of multimodal sea freight containers to be shipped from or to the USA.

Here are cubic capacities and payloads for mostly common used intermodal ocean freight containers:

20' STANDARD SEA FREIGHT CONTAINER = Cubic Capacity: 33.0 cbm (1,165 cubic ft) = Payload* :22,100 kg (48,721 lbs)
40' STANDARD SEA FREIGHT CONTAINER = Cubic Capacity: 67.3 cbm (2,377 cubic ft) = Payload*: 27,397 kg (60,401 lbs)
40' HIGH CUBE SEA FREIGHT CONTAINER = Cubic Capacity: 76.0 cbm (2,684 cubic ft) = Payload*: 29,600 kg (65,256 lbs)

*Payload weight exceeds over-the-road legal limits in US and Canada. Recommended maximum payload for the US and Canada
20 ft container: 10 pallets (avg) / 34,000 lbs
40 ft container: 20 pallets (avg) / 44,000 lbs

*Over the road weight restrictions vary state to state so please confirm prior to loading.
*Each shipment is unique and depends on product weight, size and whether it is palletized or floor loaded.

W/M = Weight or Measurement in respect of ocean freight and inland transportation (LTL)

W/M is the acronym for Weight or Measurement commonly used in international and domestic cargo transportation industries. It
means which ever is higher. W/M presents cargo density limit. I.e. light cargo is charged based on measure, while heavy cargo
based on weight. W/M may differ among carriers.

International shippers should be aware of CHARGEABLE WEIGHT AND CHARGEABLE VOLUME (WM) definitions used in different
modes of cargo transportation. In respect of international ocean freight and domestic inland freight modes the meanings of WM are:

INTERNATIONAL OCEAN FREIGHT MODE OF TRANSPORTATION: Since international shipping companies' vessel capacity is not
really limited by weight of cargo but by the hold of the ship, then charges for regular ocean freight shipments are based on the total
cargo volume. In general for ocean freight shipments, the weight of the cargo is not a pricing factor.

However there is a cargo density limit if WM ocean freight rates are present. It varies depending on international ocean freight
carriers, origins and destinations, etc. Regular international ocean freight shipments most likely will not exceed the density limit. In
general exporters and importers have to be aware of the ocean freight "U.S. 45 lbs rule", 45 lbs = 1 cubic foot. This means that if
density of international ocean freight exceeds 45 lbs per one cubic foot, then chargeable volume (total shipping cost) on the ocean
freight will be calculated using this formula:

Total Weight of ocean freight (in pounds) divided by 45 lbs = Chargeable Volume in cubic feet. The limit of 1 cubic meter = 750 kilos
can be used as well. However depending on ocean freight carrier, origin and destination etc, it may vary: 1 cbm = 500 kilos; 1 cbm
= 1000 kilos etc. The exporter or imported involved in an international ocean freight shipment should be advised about WM by the
international ocean freight carrier when making a booking.

THE U.S. DOMESTIC INLAND MODE OF TRANSPORTATION (Pickup or Line-haul charges): WM for Inland Trucking is more heavily
restricted then in the international ocean freight mode of transportation and subject to actual or dimensional weight verification. In
the USA chargeable weight for inland freight trucking should be calculated using this formula:

Chargeable Weight in Pounds = Actual Weight of the freight OR (Length x Width x Height in inches) divided by 194, whichever is
greater.

If WM rules apply then it should be indicated in our documents for each international ocean freight shipment.

Cubic Meter in RO-RO (Roll On/Roll Off)

International ocean freight rates with international shipping companies that provide Ro-Ro service are based on cubic meter or
cubic foot and type of vehicle. Than bigger vehicle then higher the ocean freight rate and total shipping cost.

Total international Ro-Ro ocean freight rate will be calculated as a total volume of your vehicle shipped from the USA in cubic
meters or cubic feet multiplied to the ocean freight rate per cubic meter or cubic foot.

Exemptions can be rates for shipping cars from US using Ro-Ro service. It can be a lump sum per vehicle depending on its size.
For example: Cars up to 600 cubic feet of total volume and up to 1.6 meters high - $1,300 lump sum + BAF & CAF etc. However, that
"lump sum" ocean freight rate is initially based on range of volume in cubic meters or cubic feet as well.

Shipping Surcharges - CAF, BAF, All-In-one
Some of the way issuer Bill-of-Lading & issuer of Arrival Notice could pinch you to death

All in rate - meaning that the cost of transportation includes all the additional fees provided for under the conditions of carriage. For
example, in the case of freight under LILO, this means that in the U.S., except for freight, loading and unloading, also includes all
related costs, such as BAF, CAF, etc.

Basic Service Rate Additional (BSRA) is the charge levied by shipping companies to importers for LCL cargo, including the port
charges, transport to an unpacking depot (see CFS) subsequent sorting and storage of the goods and finally loading onto a vehicle
collecting the goods for delivery to the buyer

Bunker Adjustment Factor (BAF) - an adjustment to shipping companies' freight rates to take into account fluctuations in the cost of
fuel oil (bunkers) for their ships.

Currency Adjustment Factor (CAF) is an adjustment to shipping companies' freight rates to take into account the effect over time of
fluctuations in currency exchange rates.

Destination Delivery Charge (DDC) A charge assessed by the carrier for handling positioning of a full container within the container
yard. Most of Forwarder will charge $25 per CBM / Min. $50.00

IHC - Inland Haulage Charges means the transportation charges from inland container freight station to sea port of loading or vice
versa. If   Cargo freight station is away from sea port of loading, the shipper completes customs formalities at such container freight
station and arranges to move cargo to port of loading either by rail or road. Normally, most of cargo in such locations is moved by
rail. If moved by rail, the charges of moving goods from such location to port of loading or movement charges from port to inland
freight station is known as Inland Haulage Charges.    Inland haulage charges vary CFS to CFS, as the distance from CFS to port of
loading varies one to another. Inland Haulage Charges – IHC – is collected by shipping line when releasing Bill of lading for export
shipments, and when issuing Delivery Order in case of import.

IMO surcharge is applied when transporting goods classified by the UN as hazardous (in accordance with the IMDG code
(International Marine Dangerous Goods code)) , the shipping company imposes a surcharge on the sea freight. This relates to the
additional handling required for planning the goods at the terminal and onboard the ship.

ISPS or SEC - security charges

GRI - planned increase of a base rate from a certain date

THC, Terminal handling charge, levied by CY and CFS operators for goods passing through their operations. THC are additional
costs, on top of the sea freight, charged by the shipping company for the handling of containers at the container terminal before
being loaded onboard a vessel. Examples include the unloading of the container from a truck, stacking and transport from the
stacking location to just below the crane. This concerns FCL (Full Container Load) shipments.

Other way of look
THC, Terminal handling charge is the charges collected by terminal authorities at each port against handling equipments and
maintenance. THC varies port to port of each country, as the cost of handling at each port differs one to another port, depends up on
the total cost of port terminal handling at each location.   Normally, Terminal handling charges (THC) for exports is collected from
shipper by shipping lines while releasing Bill of Lading after completion of export customs clearance procedures. In the case of
shipments moved from inland destinations other than sea port, the said THC is collected at same location while releasing bill of
lading by carrier.   The import terminal handling charges is collected by shipping carriers at the time of issuing delivery order to
consignee to take delivery of goods.

Heavy Weight Charge is a surcharge for exceeding certain weight. 20ft containers exceeding the weight of 14,000 kg tare
(container) are subject to a heavy weight surcharge (HWT). An empty 20ft container weighs approximately 2,300 kg. 40ft containers
are not subject to a heavy weight surcharge. Both 20ft and 40ft containers can carry a load of more than 28,000 kg.

Port Congestion Surcharge applied by shipping lines to cover losses caused by congestion and idle time for vessels serving that
port. Shipping lines therefore have the right to impose a surcharge on the freight to recover revenue lost. Another factor which
influences port congestion surcharge would be labour disputes. Port congestion surcharges are calculated as a percentage of the
freight rate.

PSS (Peak Season Surcharge) is added to cargo moving from ASIA. This fee remains in effect for the duration of a typical Peak
Season, currently from June 1 - October 31.

Winter Surcharge is imposed for all containers to cover extra costs related to serving the port due to harsh weather, convoy
restrictions, ice conditions etc. This surcharge is only effective during winter period.

Additional terms and fees to local agents of the line usually via port forwarding.

Demurrage penalties are imposed for excess use of container from its unloading at the terminal until the return of empty containers
at the port (for imports) or from the date of receipt of the empty container to be loaded before the loading of a container loaded on a
ship (for exports).

Period of container can be divided into Demurrage and Detention. Then Demurrage penalties imposed for excess use of
container from its unloading at the terminal until the time of export from the terminal. Detention penalties imposed for excess usage
container since its removal from the terminal until the return of empty containers at the port.

Administrative Fee = B / LFee = DocsFee (available in other notation) - Fees local agent line for paperwork. May apply for a bill of
lading or container.

Additional port charges are paid port to port usually via port forwarding, can be collected directly to the port or the local agents of
lines.

Storage - the rate for excess storage of cargo at the port. Is calculated from the moment of unloading at the terminal until the
time of export from the terminal. Charged are charged at port rates. Usually quoted for TEU, s increasing the scale (longer the
carrier is in port, the more expensive each day of storage).

For nomination for inspection - the rate for work on putting the container on the ground clearance (Customs, health, etc.). Charged
at the rate the port, in fact. Rates for additional operations - the rates for any port is not provided for in the usual way of handling
container (repacking, weighing, sealing, labeling, etc.). Charged at the rate the port, in fact.

========================================================================================

Some import have asked, why i'm i paying warehouse, arrival notice, shipping, duty/tax & etc.

Maybe this will help you to understand Domestic (Retail)   vs International b2b (Wholesaler):
For example: In domestic, let's say you bought the Rock for $10 (in Retail-Cost). Most of $10 is including your sellers cost of doing business with cost of rock.
Such fees, may included, their cost of warehouse, handling, stocking, security, liability Insurance, packing, labeling, Import tax-id that they paid, shipping cost from their
vendor, Employment Taxes (SSN, Medicare, FUTA, SUTA, Worker's Comp, Disability, Unemployment Insurance, etc.) + other cost of doing business and invoicing you.

But, for international business / b2b, all the fees are broken-down by EACH wholesaler VENDOR.   For Each importation there are about:
10 party involved   with   9 V endors Payment or MORE: (1. You/importer) (2. Your Factory/Supplier)   (3. ISSUER of Bill-of-Lading / shippER/ LOADER to Vessel/aka: Your
FOREIGN Forwarder/trucking & ETC.)   (4. Cargo Insurance/maritime law /all risk / t otal lost / Certificate of Liability Insurance) (5. I SF Filing / SEA Only) (6. C ustoms Entry /
C ustoms-Released) (7. ISSUER of Arrival Notice (AN) LCL = Oversee r of B L , as it was instructed) /A rrival Notice (AN) FULL Container = Overseer of bill-of-lading) (8. CFS
warehouse fees//L CL /Freight -Released / Turnover) (9. US Customs E xam) (10. Domestic truck arrange ment or Pick-up your shipment YOURSELF) (11. etc)

Below I nCoTerm = P RE -ARRANGED.
If you paid your shipper/supplier/factory for shipping cost, 99% are C IF / CNF (InCoTerms), meaning you still need to pay for Arrival Notice, warehouse//p ort.
All cargo are P RE -ARRANGED BEFORE leaving FOREIGN Port, to warehouse//p ort//Issuer-of-(A N) (A W B)/Etc, EXCEPT filing ISF, Entry, Bonds & Domestic Trucking (99%)
