Song- What is CIF ?

from The Scarf Sourcing Brief

Song - What is CIF? is an educational rap track that explains the trade term CIF (Cost, Insurance and Freight) in a simple, catchy, and memorable way. The song helps listeners understand that under CIF, the seller pays for the freight and also buys insurance for the shipment, but the risk still transfers to the buyer once the goods are loaded on board the vessel.Through a strong hook and easy-to-follow lyrics, the song highlights one of the most commonly misunderstood points in international trade: insurance and risk are not the same thing. Even though the seller pays for transport and insurance, the buyer takes the risk after loading.This track is designed for importers, exporters, sourcing agents, logistics learners, and anyone studying Incoterms. It turns a complex shipping rule into a fun and repeatable learning experience, making CIF easier to understand, remember, and explain in real business conversations.
