Incoterms allocate specified delivery obligations, costs, and risk. They do not determine ownership, payment terms, product quality, or remedies for breach.
Under FCA at the seller's premises, the seller loads the goods onto the buyer's nominated vehicle and completes export clearance. Risk then transfers to the buyer.
Under CIF, risk transfers when the goods are on board the vessel at the origin port. The seller still pays carriage and minimum insurance to the named destination port.
DPU means Delivered at Place Unloaded. It is the only Incoterm under which the seller must unload the goods at the named destination.
CIP generally requires broad Institute Cargo Clauses A cover for at least 110% of the contract value. The parties may expressly agree to a different level of cover.
CPT, CIP, and DAP can be used for any transport mode, including multimodal shipments. FAS, FOB, CFR, and CIF are restricted to sea and inland waterway transport.
Under DDP, the seller handles import clearance and duties. Some countries restrict foreign entities from acting as importer of record or require local tax and customs registrations.
FCA is generally suitable when containerized goods are delivered to a carrier at a terminal before vessel loading. FOB requires delivery on board the vessel.
DAP delivery occurs when the goods are available to the buyer on the arriving vehicle, ready for unloading. Under DPU, the seller must complete the unloading.
EXW places export clearance on the buyer, but a foreign buyer may be unable to satisfy local customs requirements. FCA is often more practical because the seller clears the goods for export.
Normalize the FCA quote by adding $1,500 freight, $200 insurance, $300 destination handling, and $1,000 duty to $20,000. Its total is $23,000, compared with $23,400 for DDP.
