CIP Carriage and Insurance Paid To: The Protected Passage

The term CIP Carriage and Insurance Paid To is similar to CPT, but with the added requirement that the seller purchases insurance for the goods. Picture yourself on that same train, but this time, you’re also insured for the journey. This is CIP. Since its birth in 1980, CIP has been the safer alternative for multi-modal transport, mirroring CIF’s protective approach.

Obligations du vendeur :

Remettre les marchandises au transporteur au lieu d'expédition convenu.

Pay for the cost of transport and insurance to the named place of destination.

Dédouaner les marchandises pour l'exportation.

Obligations de l'acheteur :

Dédouaner les marchandises à l'importation, en acquittant les droits de douane éventuels.

Supporter tous les risques de perte ou d'endommagement une fois que les marchandises ont été remises au transporteur.

CIP Carriage and Insurance Paid to Costs and Risks for buyer and seller

CIP instance:

Le vendeur : A Chinese producer of replacement lithium batteries for electrical tools

L'acheteur : A middle brand of electrical tool parts in Texas, USA,

Incoterm d'expédition : CIP (Carriage and Insurance Paid to) for two containers of lithium batteries

Battery shipment under CIP Carriage and Insurance Paid To

Under CIP, the seller delivers the goods to the carrier or another person nominated by the seller at an agreed place, contracts for and pays the costs of carriage necessary to bring the goods to the named place of destination, and also contracts for insurance cover against the buyer’s risk of loss of or damage to the goods during the carriage.

Voici comment les coûts se répartiraient :

Coût du produit : Agreed price for the batteries is $30,000.
Logistique locale : Costs for delivering goods from the factory to the port in China (seller’s responsibility), let’s say $1,500.
Dédouanement à l'exportation : Frais de dédouanement des marchandises à l'exportation par les douanes chinoises (responsabilité du vendeur), disons $500.
Frais de transport : Cost of shipping goods across the ocean to the destination port in Texas, USA (seller’s responsibility under CIP), let’s say $3,000.
Insurance: Cost of insurance to cover the buyer’s risk of loss or damage to the goods during carriage (seller’s responsibility under CIP), let’s say $1,000.

So, the total cost to the seller (CIP price) is $30,000 + $1,500 + $500 + $3,000 + $1,000 = $36,000.

Expédition :

Dédouanement à l'importation : Duties and taxes for goods to be cleared by US customs (buyer’s responsibility), let’s say $4,000.
Logistique locale : Costs for delivering goods from the port to the buyer’s warehouse in Texas, USA (buyer’s responsibility), let’s say $1,500.

So, the total cost to the buyer is the CIP price ($36,000) plus the costs of Import Customs Clearance ($4,000) and Local Logistics ($1,500). That is, $36,000 + $4,000 + $1,500 = $41,500.

Under CIP, the seller has the obligation to arrange and pay for the carriage of the goods to the agreed destination, and also to procure insurance against the buyer’s risk. However, the risk transfers from the seller to the buyer as soon as the goods have been handed over to the first carrier.

CPT term is closed to CIP term.
