FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Incoterms® do you work with?

All Incoterms® 2020 — most commonly EXW, FCA, FOB, CIF, CFR, CPT, CIP and DAP. DDP is offered on selected destinations.

Can you ship a complete asphalt plant?

Yes. We coordinate dismantling, marking, multi-container loading, port handover and full export documentation, typically across multiple FCL and flat-rack containers.

Do you offer cargo insurance?

Yes — optional all-risk insurance (ICC-A) with reputable European insurers covering door-to-door transport.

Can the customer arrange their own freight?

Yes. We support EXW and FCA terms where the buyer's forwarder collects from our location with all documentation prepared.

Do prices include destination customs duties?

Unless DDP is explicitly agreed, destination duties, VAT and clearance fees are payable by the buyer.

How are payments tied to shipping?

Documents (B/L, invoice, packing list) are released against agreed payment terms — typically T/T, L/C at sight, or escrow for project cargo.
