Three charges forwarders overbill most
Under FOB the seller pays only pre-shipment costs (trucking, export customs, origin THC); booking, B/L, ocean freight and destination charges belong elsewhere โ yet nominated-forwarder invoices often push them back to the factory. The second trap is above-benchmark billing: origin THC quoted at 1,280 but charged at 1,500 โ beyond your tolerance, it enters the review total.
Enter each lineโs actual and benchmark (or load the sample FOB invoice); the tool flags responsibility mismatches and overage, giving you numbers to negotiate with.
โ FAQ
What tolerance is reasonable?
5โ10% is customary; start tight (5%) with unfamiliar forwarders.
How do I audit a CIF destination invoice?
Switch to CIF and check destination charges against local benchmarks via the overage column.
