§ 320. § 2—320.

  • C.I.F. and C. & F. terms (1) The term C.I.F. means that the price includes in a lump sum the cost of the goods
    and the insurance and freight to the named destination. The term C. & F. or C.F.
    means that the price so includes cost and freight to the named destination. (2) Unless otherwise agreed and even though used only in connection with the stated price
    and destination, the term C.I.F. destination or its equivalent requires the seller
    at his or her own expense and risk to: (a) put the goods into the possession of a carrier at the port for shipment and obtain
    a negotiable bill or bills of lading covering the entire transportation to the named
    destination; and (b) load the goods and obtain a receipt from the carrier (which may be contained in the
    bill of lading) showing that the freight has been paid or provided for; and (c) obtain a policy or certificate of insurance, including any war risk insurance, of
    a kind and on terms then current at the port of shipment in the usual amount, in the
    currency of the contract, shown to cover the same goods covered by the bill of lading
    and providing for payment of loss to the order of the buyer or for the account of
    whom it may concern; but the seller may add to the price the amount of the premium
    for any such war risk insurance; and (d) prepare an invoice of the goods and procure any other documents required to effect
    shipment or to comply with the contract; and (e) forward and tender with commercial promptness all the documents in due form and with
    any indorsement necessary to perfect the buyer’s rights. (3) Unless otherwise agreed the term C. & F. or its equivalent has the same effect and
    imposes upon the seller the same obligations and risks as a C.I.F. term except the
    obligation as to insurance. (4) Under the term C.I.F. or C. & F. unless otherwise agreed the buyer must make payment
    against tender of the required documents and the seller may not tender nor the buyer
    demand delivery of the goods in substitution for the documents.
