**************************************************************\nThe International Chamber of Commerce created Incoterms as a worldwide standard to be used in contracts of sale for expressing the rights and obligations of buyers and sellers – specifically, regarding the delivery of the goods. The list is in order of seller's obligation, from least to most. Some Incoterms are valid for any mode of transport (EXW, FCA, CPT, CIP, DDU, DDP), some for ocean only (FAS, FOB, CFR, CIF, DEQ).\n\nFCA – Free carrier\nThe seller delivers the goods, cleared for export, to the carrier selected by the buyer. The seller loads the goods if the carrier pickup is at the seller's premises. From that point, the buyer bears the costs and risks of moving the goods to destination.\n\nCPT – Carriage paid toý\nThe seller pays for moving the goods to destination. From the time the goods are transferred to the first carrier, the buyer bears the risks of loss or damage.\n\nDDU – Delivered duty unpaid\nThe seller delivers the goods - not cleared for import - to the buyer at destination. The seller bears all costs and risks of moving the goods to destination.\n\nEXW, FCA, FAS, FOB, CFR, CIF, CPT, CIP, DAF, DES, DEQ, DDU, & DDP. Incoterms are the official rules for the worldwide interpretation of trade terms developed under the auspices of the International Chamber of Commerce, Paris, France. Incoterms are recognized by the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law as the global standard for such interpretation.\n\nFound this in a search.
