Freight Collect

What is Freight Collect?

A freight collect specifically indicates who is responsible for the cost of freight and any addition charges incur during shipment. If freight collect is specified, the consignee or the receiver will be responsible for the freight.

The opposite of Freight Collect is “freight prepaid,” which indicates that the shipper or consignor is responsible for the cost of freight.
