- Logistical Clearances: The buyer directly arranges and funds the main international freight, transit insurance, and all terminal destination charges.
- Absolute Price Protection: Product pricing is fixed permanently at order confirmation, making your invoice completely safe from post-loading oceanic freight fluctuations or market volatility.
