FCA - FREE CARRIER (... named place of delivery) The Seller delivers the goods, cleared for export, to the carrier selected by the Buyer.

If the trucking company damages the freight in transit do they have to replace it?

You have to look at the contract between the buyer and seller to determine who bears the risk of loss. Normally, the risk of loss would be on the buyer or the buyer's insurance. Now once it is determined who bears the risk of loss they could sue the trucking company if they were at fault in some way, but the trucking company does not have to replace the damaged goods (unless there is a contract that says otherwise).

CFR/CNFCost and Freight (named destination port) - Seller must pay the costs and freight to bring the goods to the port of destination. However, risk is transferred to the buyer once the goods have crossed the ship's rail. Maritime transport only and Insurance for the goods is NOT included. Insurance is at the Cost of the Buyer.CIFCost, Insurance and Freight (named destination port) - Exactly the same as CFR except that the seller must in addition procure and pay for insurance for the buyer. Maritime transport only.CIPCarriage and Insurance Paid (To) (named place of destination) - The containerised transport/multimodal equivalent of CIF. Seller pays for carriage and insurance to the named destination point, but risk passes when the goods are handed over to the first carrier.CPTCarriage Paid To (named place of destination) - The general/containerised/multimodal equivalent of CFR. The seller pays for carriage to the named point of destination, but risk passes when the goods are handed over to the first carrier.DAFDelivered At Frontier (named place)- This term can be used when the goods are transported by rail and road. The seller pays for transportation to the named place of delivery at the frontier. The buyer arranges for customs clearance and pays for transportation from the frontier to his factory. The passing of risk occurs at the frontier.DDPDelivered Duty Paid (named destination place) - This term means that the seller pays for all transportation costs and bears all risk until the goods have been delivered and pays the duty. Also used interchangeably with the term "Free Domicile". The most comprehensive term for the buyer. In most of the importing countries, taxes such as (but not limited to) VAT and excises should not be considered prepaid being handled as a "refundable" tax. Therefore VAT and excises usually are not representing a direct cost for the importer since they will be recovered against the sales on the local (domestic) market. DDUDelivered Duty Unpaid (named destination place) - This term means that the seller delivers the goods to the buyer to the named place of destination in the contract of sale. The goods are not cleared for import or unloaded from any form of transport at the place of destination. The buyer is responsible for the costs and risks for the unloading, duty and any subsequent delivery beyond the place of destination. However, if the buyer wishes the seller to bear cost and risks associated with the import clearance, duty, unloading and subsequent delivery beyond the place of destination, then this all needs to be explicitly agreed upon in the contract of sale.Delivered Duty Unpaid (named destination place) - This term means that the seller delivers the goods to the buyer to the named place of destination in the contract of sale.

The seller pays the same freight and insurance costs as he would under a CIF arrangement. Unlike CFR and CIF terms, the seller has agreed to bear not just cost, but also Risk and Title up to the arrival of the vessel at the named port.

What is the difference between FAS and FOB in shipping?

The most important mercantile shipping terms for the sale of goods are three: F.O.B., C.I.F. and F.A.S. In a F.O.B. (Free on Board) shipment, the risk passes to buyer at the F.O.B. point. The F.O.B. point can be the seller's factory or warehouse. In that case, the sale price quoted does not include freight which is the responsibility of the buyer as is the risk from the warehouse onward. If, however, the term is F.O.B. point of destination, seller bears the risk during transit and is responsible for payment of the freight. The term F.A.S. (Free Alongside) followed by "vessel" at some specific port is a variation of F.O.B. The sale is consummated when the seller delivers the goods alongside the vessel. The difference between the terms "F.O.B. vessel" and "F.A.S. vessel" is that in the F.O.B. the seller bears the risk until the loading has been completed. C.I.F. stands for Cost, Insurance, Freight, a term followed by the port of destination. "C.I.F. London", for example, would mean that the quoted price would include the price of the goods plus freight up to London and insurance.
