Incoterms 2020 — responsibility reference

11 delivery terms: who pays transport, insurance and duty, and where risk passes

Term

Франко-завод

Buyer takes everything: loading, transport, customs, risk from seller's dock. Minimum for seller.

FCAFree Carrier

Франко-перевізник

Seller hands goods to buyer's carrier (loaded at own dock or not). Risk passes on handover to carrier.

FOBFree On Board

Франко-борт (море)

Sea only. Seller loads on board; risk and costs pass to buyer at the ship's rail.

CFR/CIFCost & Freight / +Insurance

Вартість+фрахт (+страх)

Sea. Seller pays freight to destination port (CIF adds insurance), but risk passes on board at departure port.

CPT/CIPCarriage Paid To / +Insurance

Перевезення оплачене (+страх)

Any transport. Seller pays carriage to destination (CIP adds insurance), risk passes at first carrier handover.

DAPDelivered At Place

Поставка в місці

Seller delivers to buyer's place, risk until arrival. Unloading and import duty — buyer.

DPUDelivered at Place Unloaded

Поставка з розвантаженням

Like DAP plus unloading at seller's cost. The only term where seller unloads.

DDPDelivered Duty Paid

Поставка з оплатою мита

Maximum for seller: delivery + import duty + fees. Buyer only receives the goods.

FASFree Alongside Ship

Франко вздовж борта

Sea. Goods alongside the vessel (not on board). Rare, for bulk cargo.

General rule: the closer to D — the more obligations on the seller. FOB/CIF are sea-only; for containers via terminal FCA/CPT is usually more correct. Always state the edition in the contract: 'FOB Incoterms 2020'.
