CPT— Carriage Paid To(Cước trả tới)

Delivery & risk transfer

Where several carriers are involved (pickup truck → vessel/aircraft), risk passes on handover to the FIRST carrier — usually still in the export country — unless the contract names a later point. Name BOTH the delivery point (risk) and the destination (freight paid to) explicitly.

Cost split

The seller pays through to the named destination: export clearance plus the through freight it contracted. Unloading at destination follows the seller's carriage contract (included in freight → seller bears it). The buyer pays insurance if any, import clearance and anything beyond the destination.

Insurance

Neither party is obliged to insure — whoever bears the transit risk should consider buying cover for that leg.

Watch out for

• Same trap as CFR: freight to destination does not mean risk to destination — in-transit damage is the buyer's from the first-carrier handover.
• The buyer should consider insuring the whole journey itself, or use CIP so the seller must provide the highest cover (Clauses A).
