Last updated: 18 April 2026
Incoterms supported
FOB
Default. Adalwin Global delivers goods loaded on the buyer's nominated vessel at the named loading port (typically JNPT or Mundra). Risk transfers to the buyer at that point. Buyer arranges and pays for sea freight, marine insurance, destination customs and inland transport.
CIF
Available on request. Adalwin Global arranges and pays for sea freight to the named destination port and basic marine insurance (110% of invoice value). Risk transfers when goods cross the ship's rail at origin; cost transfers at destination port. Buyer handles customs and inland transport from there.
CFR
Same as CIF but the buyer arranges marine insurance. Less common; available on case-by-case basis.
EXW
Available on request, typically for buyers with established freight-forwarder presence in India. Adalwin Global makes the goods available at our Pune facility; the buyer takes over from there. Rare.
Payment rails
Standard for Fortune 500 retail buyers, hospitality groups, and large new accounts. Sight LC and 30/60-day usance LC supported. Document set built strictly to LC terms to avoid bank discrepancy fees.
30 / 70 split (advance + balance against BoL copy) or 100% against BoL — at the buyer's election. Standard for established mid-size buyers with a track record.
Used for first-order sampling and small-volume orders where the LC overhead doesn't justify the friction. Rapid onboarding, no SWIFT delays.
30 / 60 / 90-day terms — reserved for vetted repeat buyers with a documented track record. May be subject to ECGC trade-credit insurance on our side.
These export terms apply to all goods sold and shipped by Adalwin Commerce™ LLP, trading as Adalwin Global, to buyers outside India. They form part of every quote and purchase order unless varied in writing by an authorised representative of Adalwin Global.
All quotes are denominated in USD unless otherwise specified. Prices are valid for thirty days from the date of quote and subject to revision thereafter to reflect input-cost or shipping-rate changes.
FOB and CIF prices include export packing, marking, loading and standard documentation. Special packing, branded packaging, hangtags or buyer-specific labelling are quoted separately.
Quoted lead times start from the date of (a) PO confirmation and (b) for LC orders, receipt of a workable LC at our bank. Lead times include sampling approval, production, QC, and loading at the named origin port. They do not include sea-transit time, which is a function of carrier and route.
All shipments undergo inline QC during production and a final pre-shipment inspection per AQL-2.5 (Major) / 4.0 (Minor) standards. Buyer-nominated third-party inspections (SGS, Bureau Veritas, Intertek, QIMA) are welcomed at the buyer's cost and must be completed before container loading.
Claims for product defects must be raised in writing within thirty days of arrival at the destination port and must be supported by photographic evidence and a representative sample. Adalwin Global's liability for defects is limited to the invoice value of the affected goods, by repair, replacement or refund at our election.
Neither party is liable for delay or non-performance arising from events beyond reasonable control, including but not limited to natural disasters, port strikes, vessel diversion, regulatory changes affecting export procedures (RoDTEP, MEIS, customs notifications), cyber-incidents affecting shipping or financial systems, and pandemic-related restrictions. Affected obligations are suspended for the duration of the event; if the event continues for more than ninety days, either party may cancel the unperformed portion of the order without liability.
Risk in goods passes to the buyer per the agreed Incoterm. Title in goods passes to the buyer upon receipt of full payment in cleared funds.
These terms are governed by the laws of India. Any dispute that cannot be resolved by negotiation will be referred to arbitration under the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, before a single arbitrator at Pune, Maharashtra, India. The language of arbitration is English.
Buyers in jurisdictions whose laws require commercial disputes to be heard locally may request a parallel forum on a case-by-case basis; this requires Adalwin Global's prior written consent.
