5.2 Practice

The terms' families (the 2020's eleven — the exam's core):1. The E-family (departure): EXW (ex works — the seller's minimum: the goods at his door).2. The F-family (main carriage unpaid): FCA (free carrier); FAS (free alongside ship); FOB (free on board — the ship's rail lore).3. The C-family (main carriage paid, risk at shipment): CFR (cost and freight); CIF (cost, insurance and freight — the classic trade term: the seller's insurance duty); CPT; CIP (the container era's CIF).4. The D-family (arrival): DAP (delivered at place); DPU (delivered at place unloaded); DDP (delivered duty paid — the seller's maximum: the import duties included). The allocation'smap: the risk's passage (the EXW's earliest-to-DDP's latest); the costs' division; the documents'-and-insurance duties (the CIF-CIP's seller's cover); the customs' clearance responsibilities (the export-import faces). The practice's discipline: the term's careful choice (the cargo's nature, the transport's mode, the control's reality); the named place's precision; the term-and-the-L/C's consistency (the documents' match — Unit 4's compliance); the misapplication's consequences (the FOB-container problem — the FCA's advice); the Nepali practice (the imports' CIF-and-CFR faces; the exports' FOB-and-FCA; the traders' literacy gap the honest note records).
