INTRODUCTION TO AMAZON & PRIVATE LABEL

Private labeling for Amazon FBA means you sell (existing) products of your choosing, under your
own private brand (label) on Amazon. After studying a product/market, you contact product
suppliers/manufacturers directly, and they make the product for you, in bulk, at cost, under
your brand name.

coffee. A service mark is similar but refers to the right to use a name to identify the source of
services, and distinguish that source from other service providers.
 Once the trade mark is registered, it is valid for period of 10 years from the date of application.
The registration can then be renewed indefinitely as long as the renewal fees are paid every 10
years.

Incoterms-Obligation & Charges

SHIPPING INCOTERMS

INCOTERMS: The Incoterms rules or International Commercial Terms are a series of


predefined commercial terms published by the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC))

EXW- EX-WORKS
This is the most basic shipping Incoterm that a supplier can provide. The seller makes the item available
to pick up at the factory and is not responsible for the product once it leaves the factory doors. The
buyer is responsible for transporting it all the way from the factory and covers all export and import
clearances as well as the insurance cost.

If you are getting initial quotes from a factory for the first time, then they will almost always give you a
quote for EXW, unless you explicitly ask for a quote in another term. The reason factories and suppliers
quote in EXW is simply because it’s the lowest price for them and it looks good when you're comparing
quotes and need the lowest price.

FOB - FREE ON BOARD


FOB means that the seller ships the goods to the nearest port and the seller is responsible for everything
after that. The Seller will drop this off at the port of shipment and the Buyer will either pick it up them or
more commonly work with a freight forwarder to ship it for them. The seller is the one to clear the
goods for export and the buyer is responsible for the good from the port onwards. It’s very important
https://www.facebook.com/malikmuhammad.shahbazsharif

when getting FOB quotes to make sure that you get the name of the port that they are dropping the
goods off at.

One of the big reasons that this is the most popular Incoterm used is that the Export port is good places
to have a 3rd party inspection service inspect the goods. Further, the seller is responsible for all
activities in the country of export while the Buyer is responsible for all activities once the goods leave
the country, which just makes things simple. In addition, most freight forwarders will have an office at or
near the port and it’s an easy spot for them to pick up the goods on your behalf.

FCA - FREE CARRIER


This is just one step up from EXW, in which the seller clears the goods for export and delivers the goods
to the port of export. The buyer has to unload the goods in the port and is responsible for the goods
once they reach the port. The carrier is arranged by the buyer. The biggest difference between EXW is
that the seller is obligated to loading the goods on the buyers' carrier. It should be noted, this is often
confused for FOB–feel free to ask your supplier to elaborate and give details.

CPT - CARRIAGE PAID TO


The seller pays for the goods to be shipped to the import port chosen by the buyer. The risk is
transferred to the buyer once the goods arrive at the port. The buyer is responsible for unloading the
vessel and arranging further transportation from there. Even though the seller is responsible for the cost
to the export port, the buyer assumes the risk and insurance cost once the goods are unloaded at the
export port. The seller is responsible for export clearance, and freight cost.

CIP - CARRIAGE AND INSURANCE PAID TO


Effectively the same as CPT except the seller is required to obtain insurance for the goods during transit.
CIP also covers all modes of transportation while CIF is specifically for sea freight. It should be noted that
CIP and CIF are the only two methods in which risk and insurance are different. Once the goods are
unloaded at the export port the seller assumes the insurance cost, but not the risk until goods are
unloaded at the import port.

DAT - DELIVERED AT TERMINAL


The Seller delivers the goods (unloaded) to the import port, and the buyer is responsible for the cost and
risk of the goods from that point on. The seller takes on all risks or costs associated with the goods until
it reaches the import port. The buyer pays for imports and customs.

DAP - DELIVERED AT PLACE


The seller delivers the goods to the final destination of the buyer. The seller assumes all risks with the
shipping and either load or pays a third party to load the good for shipment. The buyer is only
responsible for paying the customs fee and clearing the goods for import. The buyer also pays to unload
the goods at the final destination.

DDP - DELIVERED DUTY PAID


With these terms, the seller pays for and is responsible for everything. The seller pays all costs and
assumes all risks to the final destination. The buyer is only responsible for unloading the goods once
they arrive at the final destination as chosen by the buyer.
https://www.facebook.com/malikmuhammad.shahbazsharif

We often get asked; why not get every project DDP? While it is the easiest for the buyer, it is certainly
not the cheapest. The seller picks the shipping company and will choose the one they like best; not the
cheapest or most reliable for you. You are putting a ton of trust in the shipping company. I would
suggest getting a quote for DDP from your supplier, a quote for FOB and a quote from a freight
forwarder and then compare the final total price of the two.

Note: FOB, FAS, CFR, and CIF are specifically for waterway based shipments (both ocean and inland
waterways) while the above are for all forms of shipping including water. Other forms of transportation
can include rail, trucking, or air cargo.

FAS - FREE ALONGSIDE SHIP


The seller is responsible for delivering all goods to the side of the vessel at the named export port. The
seller pays for and assumes all risks until the goods are placed in the port and the seller clears the goods
for export. The buyer then takes on all cost and risk from that point on, including loading the ship. This
has one less step than FOB, in which the buyer bears the cost and risk of loading the ship.

CFR - COST AND FREIGHT


The seller is responsible for bearing the cost of shipping till the named import port; however, the risk is
given to the buyer once the goods are loaded onto the ship at the export port and final delivery of goods
from the destination port. This is effectively the same as CPT above except CFR is specifically for water-
based transport.

CIF - COST INSURANCE AND FREIGHT


Effectively similar to the one above except that the buyer will require the seller to take on the risk or
obtain insurance for the good until the destination port. The seller bears all costs of shipping and
assumes the risk of the goods until the destination port. The seller is also responsible for clearing
customs but the buyer is responsible for paying the duty. Again this is effectively the same as CIP except
CIF is specifically for water.
