General guide
Common trade terms, explained
Incoterms® rules set out who arranges and pays for each stage of a shipment, and where risk passes from seller to buyer. Here are five you will often see in export quotes.
Ex Works
The seller makes the goods available at its premises. The buyer arranges almost everything from there.
Free On Board
The seller clears the goods for export and loads them on the buyer’s vessel. Risk passes once on board.
Cost and Freight
Like FOB, but the seller also pays sea freight to the destination port. Risk still passes at loading.
Cost, Insurance & Freight
Like CFR, plus the seller buys minimum insurance cover for the goods during the voyage.
Delivered at Place
The seller delivers to the named destination, ready for unloading. The buyer handles import clearance.
