Terms
Our company deals on FOB terms due to price volatility in shipping. We do not affect any margin on postage: we do it at cost, after communication and acceptance. You can also send your own transportation agency to pick it up. We have established simple but efficient protocols for international transport with more than 20 years of experience in foreign trade. We coordinate all operations from departure to arrival to the satisfaction of you and your customs agents.
*If you prefer to acquire merchandise in transit in our European customs warehouses, extra costs may apply: ENTRY/EXIT. EMCS, EAD, since the merchandise would already be transported to our European warehouses. DELTA BACO is EU Tobacco Track & Trace System compliant.
- The Airway Bill AWB is a contract between the airline and the customer. Be sure who is the Consignee (your Company and Address) and who needs to be notified NOTIFY: in case you use a customs agent or a different company as Forwarder, if you need to receive in a bonded warehouse: IN BOND. These data are equally important to issue the Certificates of Origin (COO) and Phytosanitary.

Samples
Sending samples in our sector and with the wholesaler prices of our products does not make any sense. Our minimum trial order is 20 bundles or 10 boxes, enough to account for a first trial order.
If you insist, we provide paid samples: the shipping cost will be paid by the customer, and a small order fee of 35 EUR. No exceptions are made.
Time for preparing samples is in practice the same as a bulk order, as it implies FOB freight, Certificate of Origin and Phytosanitary. It is expensive, as it implies aforementioned documents, taxes, and bank international commissions.



Tobacco Products registered in the EU-CEG EU Health Registry offer the advantage of complying with stringent quality and safety standards established by the European Union. Delta Baco’s products being registered and communicated in the EU countries ensure that they meet these standards, assuring consumers of their adherence to regulatory requirements and commitment to health and safety.
Insurance
Most of the time the insurance is included in the price of the transport. You can always take out additional insurance, with the beneficiary of the policy being the final recipient.
Qualification
All merchandise is subject to taxes, and may have duties. Tobacco does not have a different treatment, possibly more than other merchandise, even though the taxes on cigars are lower than those on cigarettes. Check your local legislation. If you cannot afford to import tobacco, or you have not import license to do so, do not import tobacco.
The International Chamber of Commerce, ICC, determines three Incoterms in group D: DAT: Delivered At Terminal (port or airport) is renamed Delivered at Place Unloaded (DPU), DAP: Delivered At Place, and DDP: Delivered Duty Paid (with payment of duties / taxes paid). DELTA BACO neither serves samples or merchandise DDP: the buyer must always pay their import taxes and duties. They can be delivered to the airport (DAT/DPU) normally cleared by the client’s customs agents (with delivery to the broker, INBOND), or DAP, at the address of the client.
