FCA (Free Carrier)

FCA (Free Carrier)

In this term of sale the seller has to arrange delivery to the carrier at a named point. The  risk then passes to the buyer at this point and he is responsible for the arrangement and payment insurance and carriage.

This term of sale may be used to cover any single mode of transport or multimodal transport. When using this term it is important to understand the particular responsibilities for buyer and seller in respect of the different types of transport, which may be used. These are set out in detail in Incoterms 2000.
