"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 2, 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. Le terme FAS est à utiliser exclusivement pour le transport par mer ou par voies navigables intérieures. 4, record 2, French, - franco%20le%20long%20du%20navire
