Quick Summary
In CIF import purchases, the crucial question is when the risk and reward transfer from seller to buyer. This generally occurs when the buyer signs documents to release the goods from customs authority, effectively taking physical ownership. Documents like the Bill of Lading, Bill of Entry, or LR (for goods loaded at an Indian port to the buyer's destination) are key indicators of this transfer.

That is when you sign documents of goods delivered. The risk and rewards will become yours.
