Who pays for clearance at the destination of a CIF shipment?

In a CIF (Cost, Insurance, and Freight) shipment, the seller is responsible for the costs associated with transportation, insurance, and freight to the destination port. However, the buyer is typically responsible for customs clearance and any duties or taxes upon arrival at the destination. Therefore, while the seller covers costs up to the port, the buyer handles clearance and related expenses once the shipment reaches the destination.
