Trade, Shipping & Payment Terms
At MAFA EXIM, we are committed to providing seamless, transparent, and efficient trade solutions for our global partners. Our export operations are guided by internationally recognized Incoterms (established by the International Chamber of Commerce) to ensure clarity in cost responsibilities, risk management, and logistics coordination throughout the supply chain. With flexible shipping and payment arrangements, we make it easier for our clients to source high-quality commodities from Africa — reliably, securely, and on time.
Shipping Terms
We offer multiple delivery options under global Incoterms, enabling clients to choose the structure that best fits their operational needs and logistics preferences.
1. CIF (Cost, Insurance & Freight)
Under CIF, MAFA EXIM covers the cost of the commodity, marine insurance, and freight to the buyer’s designated port of destination. Once the goods arrive, the buyer assumes responsibility for unloading, customs clearance, and any subsequent inland transport.
Ideal For: Buyers seeking a convenient, end-to-port delivery solution with minimal logistical burden.
FOB (Free on Board)
With FOB, MAFA EXIM is responsible for delivering and loading the goods onto the designated vessel at the agreed port of shipment. From that point, the buyer assumes costs and risks for freight, insurance, and onward delivery. Ideal For: Buyers who prefer to manage shipping and insurance independently.
DDP (Delivered Duty Paid)
Under DDP, MAFA EXIM manages the entire delivery process — from shipment and insurance to customs clearance, payment of import duties, and delivery to the buyer’s final destination. This provides maximum convenience and peace of mind for our clients. Ideal For: Buyers who prefer a fully managed, door-to-door solution.
