правила толкования торговых терминов

Group E – Departure: the passing point of cost ad risk is when the goods leave the seller’s premises EXW Ex-Works (named place): This term represents the maximum

obligation for the buyer: the seller has the goods ready for collection at his factory, and the buyer has to cover all costs and bear all risks until they reach his warehouse. It can be used for all forms of transport.

Group F – Main Carriage Unpaid: the buyer pays the freight (carriage) costs FCA Free carrier (named place): The seller delivers the goods cleared for

CIF Cost, insurance, and freight (named destination port): Exactly the same as CFR except that the seller must in addition procure and pay for insurance for the buyer. Maritime transport only. CPT Carriage Paid To (named place of destination): The general/containerised/multimodal equivalent of CFR. The seller pays for carriage to the named point of destination, but risk and freight costs pass when the goods are handed over to the first carrier. The buyer arranges and pays for transportation and insurance. CIP Carriage and Insurance Paid To (named place of destination): The containerised transport/multimodal equivalent of CIF. Seller pays for carriage and insurance to the named destination point, but risk passes when the goods are handed over to the first carrier.

Group D – Arrival: the passing point of cost and risk is on arrival in the buyer’s country DAF Delivered at Frontier (named place): This term can be used when

the goods are transported by overland transport (rail and road). The seller covers all costs and bears all risks until the goods reached a named point at the frontier. The passing of risk occurs at the frontier. The buyer pays all costs and bears all risks involved in transporting the goods from the frontier to his warehouse. He also pays duty and arranges for customs clearance. DES Delivered ex ship (named port): The seller and the buyer share the costs exactly as described under CIF. The difference is in the passing of risk; this occurs after the ship has arrived at the port of destination and the goods made available for unloading to the buyer. Costs for unloading the goods and any duties, taxes, etc… are for the buyer. A commonly used term in shipping bulk commodities, such as coal, grain, dry chemicals. DEQ Delivered ex Quay (named port): This is similar to DES, but the passing of risk does not occur until the goods have been unloaded at the port of destination. DDP Delivery Duty Paid (named destination place): This term means that the seller pays for all transportation costs and bears all risk until the goods have been delivered and pays the duty. Also used interchangeably with the term "Free Domicile". This Incoterms constitutes the seller’s maximum obligation. DDU Delivered Duty Unpaid: (named destination place) The seller delivers the goods to the buyer to the named place of destination in the contract of sale. The goods are not cleared for import or unloaded from any form of transport at the place of destination. The buyer is

responsible for the costs and risks for the unloading, duty and any subsequent delivery beyond the place of destination. Thus, some terms are only for carriage by sea: FAS, FOB, CFR, CIF, DES, DEQ. For containerized manufactured goods: FCA, CPT or CIP. For break­bulk: EXW, FAS, FOB, CFR, CIF, DES, DEQ, DDU, DDP (not FCA, CPT, CIP, DAF) are used. EXW, DDU, DDP: for any cargo.
