Shipping & Delivery Policy

Mak Indus | Global Trade & Logistics

Last Updated: March 6, 2026

01International Commercial Terms (Incoterms®)

Mak Indus utilizes Incoterms® 2020 to define the responsibilities of buyers and sellers in international transactions. These terms clarify when delivery obligations are fulfilled, who bears customs duties, and the point at which risk transfers.

02. Shipping Terms & Risk Allocation

CNF / CFR (Cost & Freight)

Mak Indus clears goods for export and pays ocean freight to the destination port. Risk transfers to the buyer once loaded onto the vessel.

CIF (Cost, Insurance & Freight)

Similar to CNF, but Mak Indus secures minimal marine insurance for the buyer's benefit.

DDP (Delivered Duty Paid)

Only applies if explicitly agreed in writing.

Mak Indus bears all costs/risks to the final destination, including import duties and local taxes.

03Customs, Duties & Taxes

Export Clearance: Mak Indus handles all export documentation and clearance from Pakistan unless otherwise stated.

Import Responsibilities: Unless explicitly stated as DDP, the Buyer is responsible for all import duties, VAT/GST, brokerage fees, and local port charges.

04Delivery Timelines & Docs

All delivery dates are estimates and subject to port congestion or customs inspections.

Standard Documentation Provided:

• Commercial Invoice
• Packing List
• Bill of Lading / Air Waybill
• Certificate of Origin

05. Payment & Banking

Letter of Credit (LC)

Must be irrevocable and issued by a reputable international bank. Compliance is critical for release of funds.

DP / CAD

Documents are released by the buyer’s bank only upon full payment at sight.

TT / Advance

Telegraphic Transfers must be clearly specified in the sales contract prior to shipment.

DA (Acceptance)

Documents released against a promise to pay on a future specified date (30-90 days).

06Insurance & Transit Damage

Unless shipped under CIF terms, Insurance is the Buyer's responsibility. We strongly recommend procuring marine cargo insurance covering loss, theft, and handling damage during transit.
