The CPT Incoterm is a multimodal Incoterm, it concerns all types of goods transport: sea, land, air and rail.
What is the Incoterm Carriage Paid To?
When an international sale is based on the Incoterm CPT, the costs and risks are borne by the seller until the first carrier. The transfer of risk takes place when the goods are handed over to the first carrier. The buyer, however, has to bear the costs of transport when the goods arrive at their destination.
The Incoterm CPT is a so-called general Incoterm and is particularly similar to the Incoterm FCA. It will thus be necessary to apply similar precautions and to specify in addition the share of the charges of unloading as well as the expenses of parking.
