What is the difference between FOB and CIF?

These terms are used in international trading in relation to shipping, where goods have to be delivered from one destination to another through maritime shipping. The abbreviation CIF stands for "cost, insurance, and freight," and FOB means "free on board." The major difference between FOB and CIF is in the transference of liability and ownership. With FOB, title possession and liability usually shift when the shipment leaves the point of origin. With CIF, responsibility moves to the buyer once the goods reach the point of destination.

Loading and packing

The loading capacity depends on the size and type of container, as well as the dimensions of the machinery. Here’s a general guideline:

  • 40ft Dry Container:
    • You can typically load 7 to 17 units of tractors, depending on their size and model.
  • 20ft Container:
    • Usually holds around 4 to 11 units of tractors, depending on dimensions.

To maximize container space, partial disassembly is required. This usually includes removing parts like the tires, fenders, rotary tiller, and other external components. All machinery is carefully packed using a two-floor system, with the second level constructed from timber inside the container.

As for truck-mounted cranes or mini excavators, the number will vary more significantly based on size and attachments. Please contact us with the specific model for a more accurate estimate.
