A detailed bulk ingredient quotation should show the delivery-related costs identified in the cited guidance: insurance and shipping costs. Where pro forma invoice terms are used, the delivery point should be clear from the terms of sale or the Incoterm used.
How to check the quotation
- Insurance and shipping costs: Check that both appear in the detailed quotation. The US International Trade Administration lists them in its detailed quotation guidance.
- Delivery point: Check the pro forma invoice terms for the terms of sale or Incoterm used, including the delivery point. The agency’s related guidance identifies the delivery point as part of those terms.
What remains unconfirmed
The cited material identifies insurance and shipping costs, but it does not provide a charge amount, rate, calculation basis, or rule covering additional delivery-related charges. It also establishes no Hong Kong-specific legal requirement.
The applicable amount and any other delivery-related charges should therefore be confirmed in the actual supplier quotation. They should not be inferred solely from the stated delivery point or Incoterm.
