Important quotation note
- Freight, insurance, port charges and delivery costs depend on product dimensions, weight, quantity, destination and current carrier quotation.
- The exact named place, port, currency, delivery point and Incoterms version must be written in the quotation and sales contract.
- Our team can discuss a different cost arrangement when the buyer has a preferred forwarder, import broker or delivery method.
- DDU is an older trade-term reference. For new quotations, we recommend confirming whether DAP or DDP is the appropriate current term.
Send us your destination country, port or delivery address, product model and quantity. We will prepare an itemized quotation and confirm which party bears each cost.
