Is it possible to hold a consignment (FCL) under CIF terms at transshipment port ?
for eg:
One FCL container of Rice is being shipped from India to USA and transshipment port is Dubai
so can we hold the container in Dubai for some time
Reason might be consignee refuses to accept good so avoid Demurrage and can search new Buyer ?
