"Cost and Freight" means that the seller chooses the ship and pays the ocean freight up to the named port. The seller carries out the loading on the ship as well as the export customs formalities if required. Delivery is accomplished when the goods are on board the ship at the port of loading. The transfer of risks for loss or damages to the goods occurs once they are on board the vessel; and the buyer must bear all costs. 5, record 1, English, - cost%20and%20freight

"carriage paid to" means that the seller delivers the goods to the carrier nominated by him but the seller must in addition pay the cost of carriage necessary to bring the goods to the named destination. This means that the buyer bears all risks and any other costs occurring after the goods have been so delivered. "carrier" means any person who, in a contract of carriage, undertakes to perform or to procure the performance of transport, by rail, road, air, sea, inland waterway or by a combination of such modes. If subsequent carriers are used for the carriage to the agreed destination, the risk passes when the goods have been delivered to the first carrier. The CPT term requires the seller to clear the goods for export. This term may be used irrespective of the mode of transport including multimodal transport. 2, record 3, English, - carriage%20paid%20to

"free alongside ship" means that the seller delivers when the goods are placed alongside the vessel at the named port of shipment. This means that the buyer has to bear all costs and risks of loss of or damage to the goods from that moment. The FAS term requires the seller to clear for export. This is a reversal from previous Incoterms versions which required the buyer to arrange for export clearance. However, if the parties wish the buyer to clear the goods for export, this should be made clear by adding explicit wording to this effect in the contract of sale. This term can be used only for sea or inland waterway transport. 4, record 8, English, - free%20alongside%20ship

«franco le long du navire» signifie que le vendeur a dûment livré dès lors que la marchandise a été placée le long du navire, au port d'embarquement convenu. C'est à partir de ce moment-là que l'acheteur doit supporter tous les frais et risques de perte ou de dommage que la marchandise peut courir. Le terme FAS impose au vendeur l'obligation de dédouaner la marchandise à l'exportation. C'est là un renversement de la situation par rapport aux versions antérieures des Incoterms qui mettaient à la charge de l'acheteur le dédouanement à l'exportation. Toutefois, si les parties souhaitent que l'acheteur dédouane la marchandise à l'exportation, elles doivent le préciser en insérant à cet effet une clause explicite dans le contrat de vente.

"free carrier" means that the seller delivers the goods, cleared for export, to the carrier nominated by the buyer at the named place. It should be noted that the chosen place of delivery has an impact on the obligations of loading the goods at that place. If delivery occurs at the seller’s premises, the seller is responsible for loading. If delivery occurs at any other place, the seller is not responsible for unloading.

«franco transporteur» signifie que le vendeur a dûment livré la marchandise dès lors que celle-ci, dédouanée à l'exportation, a été mise à la disposition du transporteur nommé par l'acheteur, au lieu convenu. Il convient de noter que le lieu de livraison choisi a une incidence sur les obligations de chargement et de déchargement de la marchandise en ce lieu. Si la livraison est effectuée dans les locaux du vendeur, ce dernier est responsable du chargement de la marchandise; si la livraison a lieu ailleurs, le vendeur n'est pas responsable du déchargement.
