答案：FOB（Free On Board，船上交货）是指卖方将货物交至船上，买方负责货物过船舷后的运输费用和风险。

CIF（Cost, Insuranceand Freight，成本加保险费加运费）则是指卖方负责货物运输到目的港的费用和保险费，但风险在货物过船舷时转移给买方。

2. 什么是信用证结算方式？其主要优点是什么？答案：信用证结算方式是指由银行出具的一种支付保证，承诺在满足信用证条款的情况下，向卖方支付货款。

其主要优点是为买卖双方提供了银行信用的保障，降低了交易风险。

四、案例分析题某外贸公司与外国客户签订了一份CIF合同，货物在运输途中因船只失火导致货物全损。

问：在此情况下，买方是否需要支付货款？答案：根据CIF贸易术语，卖方负责将货物运输到目的港的费用和保险费，但风险在货物过船舷时转移给买方。

因此，即使货物在运输途中全损，买方仍需支付货款。
