Tanzania prefers the use of Free on Board (FOB) over Cost, Insurance, and Freight (CIF) primarily because FOB allows for greater control over shipping logistics and costs. Under FOB, the seller's responsibility ends once the goods are loaded onto the vessel, enabling the buyer to choose their own freight and insurance providers, which can lead to cost savings and better service. Additionally, this arrangement reduces the risk of price fluctuations and provides transparency in shipping expenses. Overall, FOB aligns better with Tanzania’s trade practices and economic interests.
