Shipping Terms

Harita Group conducts international shipments under globally recognized Incoterms to ensure absolute clarity, transparency, and risk allocation for all buyers. Our logistics and commercial structures are designed to support partners across Asia, the Middle East, and Europe with predictable delivery, well-defined responsibilities, and premium service from origin to destination.

​

Whether buyers prefer to manage their own freight or require a fully delivered solution, Harita provides flexible options, from traditional FOB, CFR, and CIF agreements to our flagship Partial Advance + CAD model, engineered to significantly reduce buyer-side risk in cross-border commodity procurement.

​

Each shipping term reflects our commitment to operational integrity, timely execution, and long-term commercial reliability.

​

FOB - Free On Board

Buyers oversee freight and insurance while Harita manages safe loading at the origin port. Risk transfers once the cargo is placed on board the vessel.

​

Best for buyers who:

• Control their own vessels

• Prefer optimizing freight costs independently

• Have established shipping operations

​

CFR - Cost and Freight

Harita arranges and pays for the transportation of goods to the buyer’s port, while insurance and post-loading risks remain with the buyer.

​

Best for buyers who:

• Prefer seller-managed shipping

• Want predictable freight costs

• Handle their own insurance requirements

 

CIF - Cost, Insurance & Freight

Harita manages freight and insurance to the buyer’s port. Risk still transfers at the loading port.

​

Best for buyers who:

• Require a protected shipment

• Want minimized administrative overhead

• Prefer comprehensive seller-managed logistics

 

CAD - Partial Advance + Payment at Destination  

A modernized, buyer-friendly structure that shifts shipping and transit risk fully to Harita until the cargo arrives at the buyer’s port.

Designed for buyers seeking maximum risk protection with minimal upfront cost.

​

Under DOA:

• Buyer must provide a contractual advance or/and an SBLC issued exclusively through Harita’s designated SBLC partner

• Harita pays freight and insurance

• Harita carries the transit risk

• Risk transfers only upon arrival and discharge

• Final payment is completed after arrival and document verification

 

Best for buyers who:

• Prefer near-zero procurement risk

• Want to avoid full prepayment

• Require confirmation of delivery before settling the balance

• Value a transparent, trust-based long-term procurement structure
