When importing a Japanese used truck, bus, or tractor to Bermuda<\/strong>, you will often see three trade terms:<\/p>\n FOB, C&F (CFR), and CIF.<\/strong><\/p>\n At first, these terms may look confusing. In this guide, EVERY Japan (EVERYCAR.jp)<\/strong> explains these shipping terms clearly for Bermuda buyers.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n First of all, Bermuda import duties depend on shipment value. Moreover, these trade terms define who pays for:<\/p>\n Vehicle cost<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Shipping<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Insurance<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Clear understanding prevents budgeting mistakes.<\/p>\n FOB<\/strong> means the seller covers costs until the vehicle loads onto the ship in Japan.<\/p>\n FOB price usually includes:<\/p>\n Vehicle price<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Export inspection<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Export documentation<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Transport to Japanese port<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Loading onto vessel<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n After the vehicle leaves Japan, the buyer handles shipping and insurance.<\/p>\n FOB gives buyers more control over freight decisions.<\/p>\n C&F<\/strong>, also called CFR (Cost and Freight)<\/strong>, includes:<\/p>\n FOB price<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Ocean freight cost<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n However, it does not include insurance.<\/p>\n Under C&F, the seller arranges shipping. Many Bermuda buyers choose C&F for convenience.<\/p>\n CIF<\/strong> includes everything:<\/p>\n Vehicle cost<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Shipping cost<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Marine insurance<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n CIF provides a complete landed shipping price.<\/p>\n Bermuda customs often calculates duty based on CIF value. Here is an easy breakdown:<\/p>\n FOB<\/strong> C&F (CFR)<\/strong> CIF<\/strong> Understanding this difference helps you compare offers correctly.<\/p>\n Imagine this example:<\/p>\n FOB price: USD 15,000<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Shipping: USD 2,500<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Insurance: USD 300<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n FOB total: USD 15,000 Bermuda duty may apply to the CIF value.<\/p>\n Therefore, knowing which term applies is critical.<\/p>\n Even after freight and duty, Japanese vehicles remain competitive.<\/p>\n Brands like:<\/p>\n Toyota<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n Isuzu<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n Mitsubishi Fuso<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n Hino<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n deliver strong reliability and resale value in Bermuda.<\/p>\n Therefore, long-term ownership costs remain attractive.<\/p>\n Most vehicles arrive at Hamilton<\/span><\/span><\/strong>.<\/p>\n Before shipment, confirm:<\/p>\n Which trade term applies<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Exact CIF value<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Estimated duty amount<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Preparation ensures smooth customs clearance.<\/p>\n Since 2006, EVERY Japan has exported vehicles worldwide.<\/p>\n For Bermuda buyers, we provide:<\/p>\n Clear explanation of FOB, C&F, and CIF<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Transparent cost breakdown<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Accurate documentation<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Full shipping support<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n As a result, buyers understand every dollar spent.<\/p>\n In conclusion, FOB, C&F, and CIF define who pays for what.
