At CBS Manufacturing, we pride ourselves on offering a diverse range of flexible shipping solutions designed to meet the unique requirements of your business. Whether you're shipping domestically or internationally, our goal is to ensure your products reach their destination efficiently and securely. By exploring and understanding the various logistics options available, you can confidently select the strategy that best aligns with your operational goals and budgetary considerations.

CIF (Cost, Insurance, and Freight)

When you choose CIF shipping, CBS Manufacturing will handle the cost, insurance, and freight to your specified warehouse or fullfillment center. This option provides a comprehensive solution, covering all major aspects of the shipping process:

  • Cost: We include all shipping costs in the price of your goods, simplifying your budgeting and planning.

  • Insurance: We provide insurance coverage for your shipment, giving you peace of mind that your goods are protected against potential loss or damage during transit.

  • Freight: We manage the logistics of transporting your goods to the designated port, ensuring timely and efficient delivery.

Advantages of CIF:

  • Simplified logistics management as we handle all major shipping components.

  • Reduced risk with included insurance coverage.

  • Streamlined budgeting with all costs included in the initial quote.

POE (Port of Entry)

Choosing POE shipping means that CBS Manufacturing will deliver your goods to a specified port of entry, where you or your designated agent will take over the responsibility of the shipment. This option allows for greater control over the final leg of the delivery process:

  • Freight to Port: We manage the transportation of your goods to the agreed port of entry.

  • Customs Clearance: Once the goods arrive at the port, you or your agent will handle customs clearance, duties, and any further transportation.

Advantages of POE:

  • Greater control over the customs clearance process.

  • Flexibility in choosing the final delivery arrangements.

  • Potential cost savings by managing the last leg of the delivery internally.

Choosing the Right Option

The choice between CIF and POE depends on your specific needs and logistics capabilities. Here are a few considerations to help you decide:

  • Logistics Experience: If you have extensive experience and resources for handling customs and inland transportation, POE might be the better option.

  • Risk Management: If you prefer a hands-off approach and want the security of insurance and comprehensive logistics management, CIF is ideal.

  • Budgeting: Consider whether you prefer an all-inclusive cost upfront (CIF) or managing some costs independently (POE).
