The FCA agreement is generally not the best one to utilize when importing from China, unless you fall into the above group. Because they largely rely on one important Incoterm, FOB, manufacturers in China are able to export so much and do it rather effectively.
Therefore, it is advisable to stick with what works and avoid slowing down or confusing things by experimenting with other terminology, unless there is a valid reason why FOB is not optimal for your cargo. We might suggest this if you are an importer wishing to try FCA for your upcoming shipment from China. First, find out if your company feels comfortable citing FCA.
Second, get in touch with your China freight forwarder or a China third-party logistics provider and ask them to assist you in comparing FCA and FOB. Additionally, China freight insurance is always a smart investment, regardless of which incoterm you finally choose to utilize. It is a modest fee to pay to prevent catastrophic loss or supply chain disruption.
