FOB / CFR / CIF Calculator
Build up the three common Incoterm values for a used vehicle export — FOB, CFR and CIF — from the price and your own cost assumptions.
What these terms mean
- FOB (Free On Board) — the vehicle price plus all China-side export costs (inland transport, export documentation, customs clearance) up to loading at the departure port. Risk transfers to the buyer once on board.
- CFR (Cost and Freight) — FOB plus the ocean freight to the destination port. The seller arranges (and pays) freight; the buyer bears the risk during transit.
- CIF (Cost, Insurance and Freight) — CFR plus marine insurance. A single figure representing cost delivered to the destination port, including insurance.
Inputs
Inland transport, documentation, export clearance. You provide this.
Ocean freight to destination. You provide this — we do not publish freight rates.
Estimated result
Calculation logic
FOB = Vehicle price + China export costs
CFR = FOB + Freight
CIF = CFR + Insurance
Assumptions
- Export costs, freight and insurance are the figures you enter — none are assumed.
- Insurance here is marine cargo insurance on the declared value; your actual policy may differ.
- All values are estimates for comparison, not contractual Incoterm quotes.
Limitations
- Does not include destination-port handling, customs duty, VAT or inland delivery.
- Does not model Incoterm 2020 nuance such as FCA/CPT/CIP or insurance coverage levels.
- Freight is negotiated per shipment and varies — request real quotes.
Example
A $20,000 vehicle with $500 export costs, $2,500 freight and $200 insurance:
FOB = 20,000 + 500 = $20,500
CFR = 20,500 + 2,500 = $23,000
CIF = 23,000 + 200 = $23,200
