Quick Tip #17
When it doesn’t pay to control your freight

Origin or destination services at overseas locations often involve local knowledge (special collection or delivery requirements) that may best be left to the locals!

For example, customs clearance in Mexico or Brazil or final delivery in Russia would not be efficiently handled from Canada.

To minimize risk, importers should buy on FCA, FAS or FOB terms; exporters should sell on CFR, CIF, CPT or CIP terms.
