Cost and Freight (CFR)

What is Cost and Freight?

Cost and Freight means the seller organises and pays the freight to a specified port and provides necessary documents for obtaining the goods to the buyer.

The responsibility of the seller is completed when the goods have been fully loaded on a vessel and are cleared for export. Once the goods have been loaded on board, the costs and risks are transferred to the buyer.
