Do you offer DDP, FOB, or EXW for jeans?

DDP, FOB or EXW — choosing the shipping term

These Incoterms describe where our responsibility ends and yours begins. EXW means the goods are collected from our factory; FOB means we deliver them to the port and load them on board; DDP means we deliver to your address with duties paid.

The better choice depends on your experience and your freight arrangements. Buyers with their own forwarder often prefer FOB or EXW so they control the freight, while buyers who want one delivered price and less paperwork often prefer DDP.

FOB is the most common term for sea shipments, both full container and groupage, while express courier shipments are usually handled under a delivered arrangement because the courier manages the whole journey.

Whichever term you choose, it is stated clearly in the quotation so both sides know what is included, and any specific requirement you have, such as a nominated forwarder, can be built into the arrangement.

Tell us your preference and destination and we will quote on the term that suits your order.

Incoterms also decide practical points such as who pays for loading, who clears export and import, and where risk transfers. These are stated on the quotation so there is no dispute later about which party handles a particular cost.

Whichever term you choose, the same term is used consistently on the invoice and shipping documents, because mismatches between them can cause delays at customs or with your bank.
