A freight charge is a price at which a certain cargo is delivered from one point to another. The price depends on the form of the cargo, the mode of transport (truck, ship, train, aircraft), the weight of the cargo, and the distance to the delivery destination. Many shipping services, especially air carriers, use dimensional weight for calculating the price, which takes into account both weight and volume of the cargo.

In ship chartering, freight is the price which a charterer pays a ship owner for the use of a ship in a voyage charter

"C" typically refers to the basic cost of goods, while "F" refers to the cost of freight transportation. CIF, on the other hand, includes the cost of goods, freight, and insurance against loss or damage during transit, making it a comprehensive pricing term that protects both the buyer and seller during shipping.

FOB indicates that the seller is responsible for the goods until they are loaded onto the shipping vessel, while the buyer assumes responsibility once the goods are on board. In contrast, CIF includes the cost of the goods, insurance, and freight charges, meaning the seller covers these expenses until the goods reach the buyer's destination port. Essentially, CIF provides a higher level of service and security for the buyer compared to FOB.
