Britney contracted to sell perfume "INCOTERMS 2010 CIF" to Gaga on board the vessel "The Drake". Shipment would be made from Port Uncle, State of Kracker to Port Ava, State of Max. Britney is a citizen of Max who has relocated to Kracker a decade ago. Gaga is a citizen who resides in Max. "The Drake" is a vessel owned by Eminem and flies the flag of the State of Downey.

On the day of the shipment, Britney would hand over the cargo at the port authority at Port Uncle. Eminems workers would pick up the cargo for loading purpose. After that, Britney would be issued a Bill of Lading where Gaga is named the consignee. Upon arrival at Port Ava, Eminem would deliver the goods to Gagas warehouse about 10km away from the port.

Kracker is a contracting state but Max and Downey are not contracting states to the Rotterdam Rules. Will the rules still apply in case? Explain your answers.
