Navigating the complexities of international trade requires a deep understanding of shipping incoterms. Terms like FOB, CNF, and CIF define crucial aspects of a transaction—who pays for what, and when does the responsibility for the goods transfer from seller to buyer? An incorrect arrangement can lead to unexpected costs, shipment delays, and commercial disputes. This is where the expertise of TNA Logistics becomes your greatest asset.

Mastering International Trade with Expert Arrangement of CNF/CIF/FOB Terms
Our specialized “Arrangement of CNF/CIF/FOB TERM” service is designed to remove the ambiguity from your international transactions. We work closely with you to determine the most advantageous term for your specific shipment and handle all the necessary arrangements seamlessly.
- FOB (Free On Board): Under this term, the seller’s responsibility ends once the goods are loaded onto the shipping vessel at the port of origin. The buyer then assumes all costs and risks, including ocean freight, insurance, and final delivery. We can act on behalf of the buyer to manage the shipment efficiently from the Indonesian port onwards.
- CNF (Cost and Freight), also known as CFR: Here, the seller covers the cost of the goods plus the freight charges to transport them to the buyer’s designated destination port. The risk transfers to the buyer once the goods are on board, and the buyer is responsible for arranging insurance. We help sellers execute this flawlessly.
- CIF (Cost, Insurance, and Freight): Similar to CNF, the seller pays for the goods and ocean freight. The key difference is that the seller also arranges and pays for marine insurance to protect the goods during transit to the destination port. TNA ensures all three components are managed cost-effectively.
