chenyincheng When the rule is CIF, the seller has the following responsibilities in addition to the ones in FOB. If you are writing a business agreement of some kind, this is not good English. I'd simply suggest: The seller is to follow the responsibilities stated in the CIF (I have no idea what CIF is), in addition to the ones described in the FOB.

No, CIF and FOB are 2 sets of rules that define what a seller and a buyer's responsibilities are when trading. Under the CIF rule, the seller is obliged to pay shipping costs and cargo insurance fees, whereas in FOB, that is the buyers responsibility. They decide through negotiation which rule to use prior to the transaction.

When the terms are CIF, the seller has the following responsibilities in addition to those of FOB.
As the additional responsibilities are things that must be paid for, I'd prefer:
