Incoterm CPT (Carriage Paid To).

The transfer of risk at CPT occurs when the goods are transferred to the first carrier.
This means that the seller is responsible for the goods up to this point.
After the transfer to the carrier, the buyer bears the risk for loss or damage to the goods.
This exact moment of risk transfer must be clearly understood by both parties to avoid misunderstandings.

Under CPT, the buyer is responsible for obtaining and paying for local import documents in the destination country.
This includes all necessary paperwork to import the goods and any related fees.

The seller shall bear the cost of transporting goods to the agreed destination.
This includes loading of the goods, transportation costs and any transfer costs to the first carrier.
The buyer is responsible for post-transfer costs such as customs fees, import duties and further transportation costs to the final destination.

Yes, CPT is well suited for multimodal transportation, meaning it can be used for different forms of transportation such as road, rail, sea and air freight.
This flexibility makes CPT a popular choice in international trade transactions.

The seller is responsible for loading the goods onto the truck at the seller’s premises and for arranging transportation to the first carrier.
All logistical processes and costs up to this point are the responsibility of the seller.

To avoid misunderstandings, the destination and exact point of transfer should be clearly specified in the contract.
This helps avoid conflicts over where the transfer of risk takes place and what costs are borne by which party.

CPT can contribute to more sustainable transportation by offering the opportunity to choose environmentally friendly transportation options such as electric transport or use of ground anchors during loading and unloading.
By consciously choosing sustainable transportation methods, buyers and sellers can reduce their carbon footprint.

After the transfer of risk to the first carrier, additional costs may arise such as customs fees, import duties and further transportation costs to the final destination.
These costs are the responsibility of the buyer.

The Committee on Practical Tuberculosis Control (CPT) has no direct role in the transportation of goods.
However, in a broader context, the committee may be involved in the consultation of professionals and the development of guidelines that may affect the health aspects of international transportation.

Multimodal transportation offers flexibility and efficiency by using different forms of transportation such as road, rail, sea and air.
This can lead to cost savings, improved logistics planning and a wider range of transportation options for the buyer and seller.
