Free Carrier (FCA) is an Incoterm. The seller delivers the goods into the custody of the first carrier, and this is where risk passes from seller to buyer. The buyer pays for the transportation.

It can be used for all modes of transportation including multimodal transport, such as in shipping containers where the ship's rail plays no relevant part in determining a shipping point.

FCA is also the term to use in place of FOB for airfreight transactions.
