It contains price of the product placed on board the transport and duties and taxes there on. It does not cotain, any Frieght or Transit Insurance associated with the product. (All these are to be arranged by the purchaser in his own responsibility).
CIF=Includes price of the product, Freight and Transit Insurance costs

12 February 2008 The inco term FOB should be with named port. [ e.g. : FOB MUmbai by SEA]. When exporter quotes FOB named port rates. It is duty of exporter to bear alls expenses from transportation of goods from godowns/works, custom clearances, Port handling charges, freight charges, etc., and delivery of the goods to the destined vessel.

FOB + Cost of freight upto destined port and Insurance = CIF Named port.
