In general, the seller will propose the CIF / CPT / DAP variant, ensuring that the commercial invoice includes the cost of the transportation,

 If you choose the FOB / EXW option, you have to get the freight cost from a Freight Forwarder and add it to the total cost.

At first sight anyone would choose the first option!

I do not recommend it because in the end your shipping cost will be much higher than your FOB delivery.

Why  ? The seller obtains from a forwarder, originally, the cost of transport to the destination port. This cost is intentionally very low. At your destination, however, when you contact the forwarding agent in Romania, you will find that the fees you have to pay for the release of the goods and their lifting are at least twice the correct cost you would bear in the case in which you hire the transport.

You are faced with the following: either pay to get the goods, or simply give up. The profits earned by the agent in Romania are shared with the forwarder from the origin.

Let's take in concrete case:

 Buy a cargo pallet, volume 1 cbm, 300 kg.

The seller will advise that he will send the commodity at CIF Constanta at the rate of 10 usd / cbm.For the FOB Port origin - Constanta, the transport costs 60 usd (port of origin - Constanta) + de-consolidation and release taxes worth 150 euros.

Choose the CIF condition!

Carrying out and arriving in Constanta.

Will contact the home forwarding agent to send the necessary documents for deconsolidation, import etc and the local service invoice: 475 euro.
