"Carriage paid to" means that the seller sends product to the carrier or other person nominated by the seller in the agreed place (if such a place is agreed by the parties) and that the seller is obliged to enter into a contract of carriage and bear the transportation costs necessary to deliver the goods to the agreed destination.

Using the term CPT, the seller fulfills his obligation to deliver when he delivers the goods to the carrier, and not when the goods reach their destination.

This term contains two critical points, since risk and expense pass in two different places. It is recommended that the parties as clearly as possible determine in the contract the place of delivery of the goods at which the risk passes to the buyer, as well as the named destination, to which the seller is obliged to conclude a contract of carriage. delivery point, the disadvantage is that the risk passes when the goods are transferred to the first carrier at the point the choice of which depends entirely on the seller and which Out of control of the buyer.

If the parties intend for the transfer of risk to take place at a later stage (i.e. at the seaport or at the airport), this must be specified in the contract. The parties are also encouraged to determine as accurately as possible the point at the agreed place of destination, since the costs to that point are borne by the seller. The seller is advised to provide contracts of carriage that accurately reflect this choice. If the seller, under his contract of carriage, bears the costs of unloading at the agreed place of destination, the seller is not entitled to demand compensation from the buyer for such costs, unless otherwise agreed by the parties.

The CPT requires the seller to complete customs formalities for exportation, if any. However, the seller is not obliged to carry out import customs formalities, pay import duties or perform other import customs formalities.

Term CPT It is convenient for the importer, because the exporter takes on organizational issues with the delivery of the goods and their insurance. But all these costs, the seller will still include in the price of the goods.
