My AWB indicated, "Freight Pre-Paid, Total Amount Inclusive of Freight Charges'. My supplier's invoice shows the FOB value. Which value should I use to declare a permit?
"Freight Pre-Paid" means the freight charges have been paid at the country of export. Please request for the Declarant to confirm with the shipper/consignee that payment for the freight charges has been made.
If the freight charges have been paid by the consignee, the Declarant has to select the FOB incoterm. The value to be declared should be based on the supplier's invoice. Insurance charges incurred should be added on.
If freight charges have not been paid, the Declarant has to select the C&F incoterm. The value should be declared based on the supplier's invoice. Insurance charges incurred should be added on.
