It's always better to mention Insurance and Freight seperatly in the proforma invoice as well as in the main Invoice. In some countries, custom duties are levied only on FOB. This way the buyer is saved from paying custom duty on freight and insurance.

Replying to [hirenapatel1980]:when small buyers asks for a quote they prefer the CIF as the qty will be smaller and they will be concerned about the cost per piece which is the ultimate pricing factor.
but in cases of big buyers the quote will work better in FOB prices
as they will have their own clearing agents take care of their shipments.

The idea behind askin for this kind of invoice is to get a general feel for the cost of your products. The customer is not placing an order yet, just trying to size you up for prices. Better to provide the lowest possible prices at this point and at the end of your invoice generally mention that other charges may apply after an order was placed.....what if the freight cost goes up before the customer places an order.

Replying to [hirenapatel1980]:i suppose you should include all of it for easy business so the buyer could be able to his/her budget. reason is because due to the economic situation in other countries mostly in under developed countries eg. africa they will need to know future expense.
