Summary

What is Cost, Insurance and Freight (CIF)? Meaning.

Cost, Insurance and Freight (CIF) is an international sales term used in the transportation industry, especially ocean transport. When a price is quoted CIF, it means that the selling price includes the cost of the goods, the freight or transport costs and also the cost of marine insurance.
