The second group – “C” – means that the seller pays for the main freight. Thus, after the conclusion of the contract for the sale of goods, the seller is obliged to transfer the goods to the carrier, who will transport the goods. This group of terms can be used for transportation by any means of transport and includes four basic terms of delivery:

The third group of terms – “F” – does not provide for payment of the main freight by the seller. Upon acceptance of these terms of delivery, the seller transfers the goods to the first carrier, and all issues of payment and relationship with the carrier fall on the buyer. This category of terms, except for the term “FCA”, applies exclusively to transport by sea or inland waterway. In turn, this group includes three terms:

The fourth group – “D” – is characterized by the concept of “arrival”. When using it, the seller, after the conclusion of the sales contract, must deliver the goods to the buyer at the destination agreed with him. It can be either a specific settlement or a logistics terminal. Depending on the agreement reached, customs duties in the country of destination can be paid by either the seller or the buyer. These basic conditions apply for transportation by any means of transport. This group was most significantly revised compared to the previous version of Incoterms 2000. Four terms of delivery were excluded from the group: DDU – delivery without payment of duty, DAF – delivery to the border, DEQ – delivery from the pier and DES – delivery from the ship. Currently, the group of deliveries of category “D” includes three basic conditions.
