Recommendations • Suggest primarily using Incoterms of DDP and DDU to insure Sidle has control of quality of transport process right through to installation, also allows total control over landed cost • Take advantage of Tetra Paks global purchasing clout however suggest DDU as the term of choice • Tetra Pak can possibly control freight directly with lines but outsource project management of job to a specialised forwarder
