Shipping Policy

Shipping Policy SAMANHUB.COM Group is not currently managing transportation itself, but we will assist our customers
in selecting transport agents, consignment terms, and other shipment-related inquiries. Since the platform
operates on a three-tier strategy, the shipping terms and policies differ from tier to tier. Below is detailed
information about each tier approach and the respective shipping terms:

Tier One of Shipping Policy:

Exporter Tier One offers a platform for manufacturers and exporters in Nepal to export their products
globally. Exporters must adhere to the Incoterms rules provided by the Nepal government, which are
internationally recognized standards used worldwide in both international and domestic contracts for the sale
of goods. Exporters will reference four different shipment terms for pricing. The choice of shipment terms is
subject to the agreement between the seller and buyer. If you are new to the import/export industry, please
read the description of each shipment term before selecting.

Ex Work:

The seller makes the goods available to the buyer at the seller’s premises or another specified
location (e.g., factory, warehouse). The seller is not obligated to load the goods on a collecting vehicle nor
clear them for export, where applicable. The buyer assumes all other risks, transportation costs, insurance,
taxes, and duties from that point onward.

Cost, Insurance, and Freight (CIF):
The seller delivers the goods on board the vessel or procures them already loaded. Risk transfers to the buyer
once the goods are on board. The seller must contract for and cover the costs and freight needed to bring the
goods to the designated port of destination. The seller also secures insurance against the buyer’s risk of loss
or damage during transit, though only minimal coverage is required. If the buyer desires more extensive
insurance protection, it must be agreed upon with the seller or arranged independently. The buyer is
responsible for risks once the goods are loaded onto the vessel.

Free on Board (FOB):
The seller delivers the goods on board the vessel nominated by the buyer at the agreed port of shipment. Risk
transfers to the buyer once the goods are on board, and the buyer bears all costs from that point. The seller
prepares the goods for export and loads them onto the specified ship. Costs and risks are shared by the buyer
and seller once the goods are on board.

Free Carrier (FCA):
The seller delivers the goods, cleared for export, to the carrier or another person nominated by the buyer at
the seller’s premises or another specified location. It is advisable to clearly specify the point within the named
place of delivery, as risk transfers to the buyer at that point. The buyer is then responsible for transportation
to the final delivery location.

Tier Two and Tier Three (Wholesaler and Retailer):
Wholesalers and retailers are involved in selling and delivering products within the country. The seller is
responsible for using the available commercial cargo and delivery methods in the given country and area.
