Notes:

  • Incoterms do not deal with the parties obligations for stowage within a container and therefore, where relevant, the parties should deal with this in the sales contract.
  • FCA Seller Facility Buyer pays inland freight; other FCA qualifiers. Seller arranges and loads pre-carriage carrier and pays inland freight to the  delivery place.
  • Incoterms not obligate the buyer nor must the seller to insure the goods, therefore this issue be addressed elsewhere in the sales contract.
  • Charges paid by Buyer or Seller depending on contract of carriage.
  • Charges paid by Seller if through Bill of Lading or door-to-door rate to Buyer’s destination.
