>Governments have to pay, regardless of whether or not the shipment arrives: on time, damaged, or at all

Wouldn't this be standard language in any contract? If I buy a widget and they ship it to me, if it gets damaged in transit, or lost in transit I still have to pay the producer, I then go after the delivery company (and/or their insurance) for compensation.

I've never handled such things for a business, but I'd assume it'd be the same as in my personal life - that's the seller's problem?

If something arrives (late, if I care) damaged, or not at all, from Amazon or whatever, I tell them and they refund me or ship a replacement.

It depends. Sometimes you buy EXW, sometimes FOB, sometimes delivery is guaranteed. Just depends on the deal. But mostly, yes, you're right.
