“Free Carrier” means that the seller delivers the goods to the carrier in one of two ways with varying levels of risk and cost for the buyer and seller. Either it is used when the seller delivers the goods, cleared for export, at a named place which is their own premises., or FCA is used when the seller delivers the goods, cleared for export, at a named place which is not their premises.
In both instances, the goods can be delivered to a carrier nominated by the buyer, or to another party nominated by the buyer.
FCA requires the seller to declare for export. However, the seller has no obligation to clear the goods for import or transit.
