Cargo Information
Customs value is CIF — goods + international freight + insurance up to the place of importation. Leave freight/insurance blank if your goods value is already CIF. For a foreign-currency invoice, use the exchange rate on the day the customs declaration is submitted.
Freight Rate & Margin
Your quote, not the customs value: Buy = what the carrier charges you · Sell = Buy + your margin → billed to your customer as “Freight Charges” in the cost summary.
