Sample-first is the default policy. We courier a one to two kilogram sample per origin with a draft COA so the buyer in Colombie can run lab confirmation or visual inspection before any PO. Sample fees credit against the first full container load on acceptance.
Écarts entre Incoterms : FOB, CFR, CIF et DAP pour Colombie
We quote CFR, CIF, FOB on the same RFQ so buyers can compare landed cost per term. The FOB-to-CFR delta covers ocean freight only. CFR-to-CIF adds marine insurance at roughly 0.15 percent of invoice plus 10 percent. DAP Port of Cartagena adds destination handling and inland trucking.
