    Hazards from natural forces in or about navigable waters (windstorm, rough weather, etc., but not fire, explosion, etc., which are perils on the sea).
  • TERMS OF SALE:
    The following are brief descriptions of the more common Terms of Sale (fully defined in the "American Foreign Trade Definitions 1941"), setting forth the obligations of the seller and buyer.
  • (a) FOB (Free on Board)
    The seller assumes charges and risk for the goods until they are loaded on board a named carrier at a named point, which may be an inland point or a port. The buyer is responsible for any loss or damage after loading on board the carrier. The buyer should specify FOB to control insurance without relying on the "other fellow"
  • (b) FAS (Free Alongside)
    The seller assumes charges and risk until the goods are delivered alongside the vessel. Loss or damage from alongside the vessel is the responsibility of the buyer.
  • (c) C&F (Cost and Freight)
    The seller assumes responsibility for charges and for loss or damage until the goods enter the carriees custody or are loaded on board the vessel. The buyer is responsible for loss or damage at this point.
  • (d) CIF (Cost, Insurance, and Freight)
    The seller's price includes cost of the goods, Marine insurance, and all transportation charges to the named destination point. Seller also provides War Risk insurance as obtainable in his or her market at the time of shipment, at buyer's expense (unless seller has agreed that buyer provides War Risk insurance). Seller should specify CIF to maintain maximum control of the shipment until the transaction has been completed.
  • TERMS OR METHODS OF PAYMENT:
    If the insured is not paid for any reason, he/she must dispose of the goods and, therefore, still has an insurable interest. Following are the more common Terms or Methods of Payment:
  • (a) Collection by Draft
    The seller bears the risk until he/she is paid. If for some reason, the buyer does not accept the shipment, the seller has the problem of disposing of the goods. By arranging the insurance, the seller can minimize the risk of loss.
  • (b) Open Account
    When sales are made on an open account, the seller has financial risk similar to collecting by draft. Here again, the seller should attempt to arrange the insurance.
  • (c) Letter of Credit
    In this procedure, the buyer establishes credit in U.S. money through his or her bank in favor of the seller. If the seller collects by this means, the letter of credit often stipulates that he/she arrange the insurance.
  • VALUATION CLAUSE:
    Provides basis for determining insured value of a shipment under the Open Cargo policy.
  • WAR RISK:
    Insurance against loss or damage to property as a result of war risks.

         

  • WAREHOUSE TO WAREHOUSE: (Door to Door)
    An export/import policy clause that provides protection from the shipper's ware-house and during ordinary course of transit to the consignee's warehouse.
