Documents & Incoterms
Free Carrier (FCA)
Definition
An Incoterms rule under which the seller delivers goods to the buyer-nominated carrier or party at a named place.
In practical terms
FCA can be used with any transportation mode. The exact named place determines the delivery point, risk transfer, and which party handles loading at that point.
Example
The seller clears the goods for export and delivers them to the forwarder at a named terminal.
