What Incoterm should be used if the seller pays for all transportation costs and bears all risks until delivery?

Free on Board (FOB)

Cost, Insurance, and Freight (CIF)

Delivered Duty Paid (DDP)

The choice of Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) is appropriate in this context because it signifies that the seller is responsible for all costs and risks associated with the transportation of goods up to the destination specified by the buyer. This includes not only transportation expenses but also insurance, duties, and taxes. The seller takes on the responsibility for the shipment, ensuring that the goods arrive at the buyer's location without any additional costs or risks to the buyer during transit.

In contrast, other options present varying levels of responsibility. Free on Board (FOB) indicates that the seller's responsibility ends once the goods are loaded onto the transportation vessel. Cost, Insurance, and Freight (CIF) involves the seller paying for transportation and insurance up to the port of destination, but not typically beyond it. Ex Works (EXW) places the least responsibility on the seller, as they merely make the goods available at their premises, leaving all other costs and risks to the buyer from that point forward.

Therefore, DDP is the correct choice when the seller is responsible for all transportation costs and bears all risks until the goods are delivered to the buyer.
