Incoterms, published by the International Chamber of Commerce, are the globally recognised three-letter rules that split cost and risk between seller and buyer in an international sale. They state who arranges and pays for carriage and insurance, who handles export and import clearance, and the exact point at which risk passes from one party to the other.
For egg exports from India the common terms are FOB and CFR, with CIF and DAP quoted where the route allows. Choosing the right incoterm shapes your landed cost and how much of the logistics you manage yourself. A buyer with its own freight contracts may prefer FOB, while one that wants a delivered price to the destination port leans towards CFR or CIF. Always pair the incoterm with the named port, so FOB Nhava Sheva or CIF Jebel Ali reads unambiguously on the contract and invoice.
