We are glad to advise that the Russian market appears to have rebounded, at least in our business which is the export of confectionery ingredients. We are currently shipping to Moscow on a bi-monthly basis. Our problem is not a Documentary Credit or even a payment problem as we get payment in advance of shipment against our pro-forma invoice. Our problem relates to Incoterms 2010, specifically CIP Moscow. Having received payment by SWIFT transfer we shipped goods to Moscow. To obtain clearance of the goods our customer had to pay a duty surcharge. Our customer maintains that it is not their obligation to pay this duty surcharge, but that of the exporter. We disagree! While not a Documentary Credit question we would appreciate if you could clarify who is responsible for paying the duty surcharge under the incoterm CIP Moscow (Incoterms 2010)?
