CIP vs DAP for Bangladesh imports: CIP adds seller-bought Clause A cover at 110 percent of the contract price, while DAP delivers to your door with no policy duty. Compare the insurance, risk and buyer totals.
Under CPT you clear the import and pay the duty and VAT; under DDP the seller does, as importer of record. A worked garment example to the UK shows the two terms match in gross cost but differ by $6,061 net, because the import VAT the seller pays cannot be reclaimed.
CPT pays the freight but hands the risk to you at origin; DPU keeps the seller responsible until the goods are unloaded at your warehouse. Compare the handover, the cost split and a worked jute shipment to Rotterdam.
CPT and DAP both put the freight on the seller, but they part company on risk. Compare the cost split, the risk point, insurance and customs, with a worked cotton-towel example from Chattogram to Dallas.
CPT vs CIP for Bangladesh imports: the two rules share carriage, risk and customs, and differ on a single line — seller-bought Clause A cover under CIP against buyer-arranged cover under CPT.
CFR stops at Hamburg port; DAP carries the goods to a warehouse in Munich. Follow one knitwear shipment and see who pays for each leg, where the risk passes, and which rule fits your order.
Under CFR the buyer buys its own cargo cover; under CIP the seller buys Clause A cover inside the price. Follow 500 cartons of jute bags from Chattogram to Rotterdam and see which term fits your shipment.
CFR is sea-only with risk on board the vessel; CPT covers any mode with risk at the first carrier. Follow a container from Dhaka to Hamburg and see which term fits your route.
CFR and CIF differ only in insurance, and that single difference decides who pays when cargo arrives damaged. Here is what the seller's Clause C cover pays, and when to buy your own.
FOB leaves duty and VAT with the buyer; DDP moves them to the seller. The VAT the seller pays is usually unrecoverable, so a VAT-registered buyer often pays more in net terms under DDP. Worked example included.
Read a sneakers FOB quotation as a costed bill of materials: tooling spread, volume tiers and quality tiers, then restate every quote to one pair on the same delivery basis before ranking.
Buying wholesale sneakers from Bangladesh is an assortment decision before it is a price decision. This guide covers stock and made-to-order lines, size runs, quotation lines, reorder terms and the documents that must match the pairs in the cartons.
