Free Carrier
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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 from the place named in the Incoterm.
The place name can be anywhere from the supplier's shipping dock to the port of export. If there are any problems or costs of clearing customs in the country of export, the seller is responsible for correcting and paying for them.
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.
