CIF Fuel Transactions With Nationwide Brokerage Group Inc.

Bulk Petroleum Products Delivered to Your Destination Port

Nationwide Brokerage Group Inc. (NBG) connects qualified commercial buyers with bulk petroleum supply opportunities structured on CIF (Cost, Insurance and Freight) terms.

CIF transactions can be available for products including EN590 10 PPM diesel, Jet A-1, D6, D2, and other petroleum products, depending on current supply, destination, seller terms, vessel availability, and applicable commercial agreements.

Our objective is to help qualified buyers identify suitable supply opportunities and understand the transaction process from initial inquiry through delivery.

What Is a CIF Fuel Transaction?

CIF — Cost, Insurance and Freight is an international trade term in which the seller generally arranges and pays for the ocean freight and insurance required to bring the goods to the named destination port, subject to the specific contract and applicable Incoterms.

CIF does not mean that every cost associated with receiving the product at the destination is automatically included.

The commercial agreement should clearly identify:
 

• Named destination port

• Product

• Quantity

• Price

• Freight

• Insurance

• Inspection

• Delivery requirements

• Payment terms

• Risk transfer

• Title transfer

• Discharge responsibilities

• Destination charges
   

The exact contractual allocation of responsibilities controls the transaction.

How a CIF Fuel Transaction With NBG Works

A typical CIF transaction can involve the following stages:

1. Buyer Submits a CIF Requirement

The buyer provides NBG with:
 

• Product required

• Trial quantity

• Monthly quantity

• Destination port

• Desired delivery date

• Contract duration

• Buyer/company information

• Receiving capability

• Preferred payment structure, where applicable
   

For example:

Product: EN590 10 PPM
Trial: 100,000 MT
Monthly: 100,000 MT
Destination: Named international port
Term: CIF

A complete requirement allows NBG to determine whether an available supply opportunity may match the buyer's needs.

2. NBG Reviews the Buyer Requirement

NBG reviews the requested:
 

• Product

• Quantity

• Destination

• Delivery schedule

• Transaction structure

• Buyer requirements
   

If a suitable CIF opportunity is available, the applicable commercial offer and seller procedure can be presented for review.

Product availability, pricing, and destination availability are subject to change.

3. Buyer Receives the CIF Offer

A CIF offer should clearly identify the principal commercial terms, including:
 

• Product specification

• Quantity

• CIF price

• Destination port

• Delivery window

• Trial quantity

• Monthly quantity

• Payment terms

• Inspection provisions

• Shipping arrangements

• Insurance provisions

• Seller procedure

• Offer validity
   

Buyers should evaluate the complete transaction structure—not just the quoted price per metric ton or barrel.

4. Buyer Provides Required Documentation

Depending on the seller and transaction, the buyer may be asked to provide:
 

• Letter of Intent (LOI)

• Irrevocable Corporate Purchase Order (ICPO)

• Company registration

• Authorized signatory information

• KYC documentation

• Buyer banking information, where contractually required

• Receiving terminal information

• Other compliance documentation
   

Additional documentation may be required depending on the product, destination, seller, and transaction structure.

5. Seller Review & Contract

The applicable seller reviews the buyer's documentation and transaction requirements.

Once commercial terms are accepted, the parties proceed toward the appropriate contract or sales documentation.

The agreement should establish:
 

• Product

• Specification

• Quantity

• CIF price

• Destination port

• Delivery window

• Payment terms

• Inspection

• Shipping responsibilities

• Insurance

• Risk transfer

• Title transfer

• Discharge requirements

• Applicable Incoterms

• Governing terms
   

All parties should review the contract carefully before proceeding.

6. Vessel & Freight Arrangements

Under CIF terms, the seller generally arranges the contracted ocean transportation to the named destination port.
Depending on the transaction, the seller or designated party may coordinate:
 

• Vessel nomination

• Ocean freight

• Loading arrangements

• Marine transportation

• Cargo insurance

• Shipping documentation

• Estimated arrival information

• Destination-port coordination
   

The precise responsibilities should be established in the executed agreement.

7. Product Inspection

Independent inspection may be incorporated into the transaction.

Where required, an internationally recognized inspection company such as SGS may conduct quantity and quality verification according to the agreed inspection scope.

Inspection can include:
 

• Product sampling

• Quantity measurement

• Density

• Sulfur content

• Quality analysis

• Certificate review

• Other contractual specifications
   

The timing of inspection and the party responsible for inspection costs should be established in the contract.

8. Shipment & Delivery

After the applicable contractual conditions are satisfied, the cargo can proceed toward the named destination port.

The shipment process can include:

Loading → Vessel Departure → Ocean Transit → Destination Port → Arrival → Discharge

The buyer should have the necessary receiving arrangements in place before the vessel arrives.

Destination requirements can include:
 

• Receiving terminal

• Port clearance

• Customs requirements

• Discharge authorization

• Storage capacity

• Local regulatory requirements

• Port charges

• Other destination costs
   

CIF vs FOB Petroleum Transactions

Understanding the difference between CIF and FOB is important for bulk fuel buyers.

CIF

Under CIF, the seller generally arranges and pays for ocean freight and insurance to the named destination port, subject to the agreed contract.

CIF can be appropriate for buyers who want transportation arranged to their destination port.

FOB

Under FOB, the seller's responsibility generally ends at the agreed FOB delivery point, while the buyer typically arranges the subsequent transportation.

FOB can be appropriate for buyers that have their own vessel or established freight arrangements.

Which Is Better?

Neither is universally better.

The appropriate structure depends on:
 

• Buyer's logistics capabilities

• Destination

• Vessel access

• Freight costs

• Product availability

• Quantity

• Insurance

• Storage

• Delivery schedule

• Commercial terms
   

NBG can review the buyer's requirements and determine whether an available opportunity is structured on FOB or CIF terms.

CIF EN590 10 PPM Diesel

One of the most common bulk fuel inquiries involves EN590 10 PPM diesel on CIF terms.

A buyer may request:

Product: EN590 10 PPM
Trial Quantity: 100,000 MT
Monthly Quantity: 100,000 MT
Delivery: CIF
Destination: Named port
Contract: Trial + recurring monthly supply

Actual quantities, pricing, destination availability, and contract terms depend on the specific supply opportunity.

CIF Jet A-1

CIF Jet A-1 transactions can involve delivery to major international aviation fuel and petroleum hubs.

Buyers should identify:
 

• Required quantity

• Destination airport or port

• Delivery requirements

• Product specification

• Trial requirement

• Monthly requirement

• Desired delivery schedule
   

Jet A-1 transactions remain subject to applicable product specifications, seller approval, logistics, inspection, and contractual requirements.

CIF Fuel Delivery Locations

CIF petroleum transactions can involve major international destinations.

Examples may include:
 

• Rotterdam

• Houston

• Fujairah

• Antwerp

• Major European ports

• U.S. Gulf Coast ports

• Middle Eastern ports

• Asian petroleum hubs

• Other approved international destinations
   

The availability of a CIF offer depends on the actual supply, seller, vessel logistics, destination port, and commercial conditions at the time of inquiry.

What Does the Buyer Pay Under CIF?

The exact costs included in a CIF price depend on the contract.

Generally, the CIF price includes the agreed:

Cost of Product + Ocean Freight + Marine Insurance

However, buyers should not assume that every destination expense is included.

Potential additional destination-related expenses can include:
 

• Port charges

• Customs

• Taxes or duties

• Terminal charges

• Storage

• Discharge-related costs

• Inspection fees

• Local transportation

• Other destination expenses
   

The contract and commercial invoice should clearly identify what is included and excluded.

CIF Payment & Title Transfer

Payment procedures are determined by the negotiated commercial agreement.

The contract should clearly establish:
 

• Payment method

• Payment timing

• Banking requirements

• Inspection conditions

• Shipping documentation

• Title-transfer conditions

• Risk-transfer conditions

• Delivery conditions
   

Buyers should follow only verified contractual banking instructions and should independently verify payment instructions before sending funds.
