The accounting standards do not stipulate you to follow any specific term of sales ie FOB or CIF. That is entirely based on the terms of sale between you and buyer.
FOB sale would free you from the insurance and freight which would be taken care by buyer. In the case of C.I.F., you will have to bear the insurance and freight till the buyer's warehouse abroad.
