INCOTERMS 2010

CARRIAGE PAID TO [... named place of destination]
CARRIAGE PAID TO [... named place of destination]

This term can be used regardless of the chosen mode of transport, as well as when using more than one mode of transport.
"Carriage paid to" means that the seller delivers the goods to the carrier or another person nominated by the seller at the agreed place (if such place is agreed by the parties) and that the seller is obliged to conclude a contract of carriage and bear the costs of carriage necessary to deliver the goods to the agreed destination.
When using the terms CPT, CIP, CFR or CIF, the seller fulfills his obligation to deliver when he hands over the goods to the carrier and not when the goods have reached their destination.
This term contains two critical points, as risk and cost are transferred in two different places. The parties are encouraged to specify as clearly as possible in the contract the place of delivery of the goods at which the risk passes to the buyer, as well as the named place of destination to which the seller is obliged to conclude a contract of carriage.
When using several carriers to transport the goods in an agreed direction and if the parties have not agreed on a specific point of delivery, the disadvantage is that the risk passes when the goods are handed over to the first carrier at a point whose choice is entirely up to the seller and which is beyond the control of the buyer. If the parties intend for the risk to pass at a later stage (ie at an ocean port or airport), they need to specify this in their contract of sale.
The parties are also encouraged to identify as accurately as possible the point at the agreed destination, as the costs up to that point are borne by the seller. The seller is advised to provide contracts of carriage that accurately reflect this choice. If the seller, under his contract of carriage, bears the costs of unloading at the agreed place of destination, the seller is not entitled to claim from the buyer the reimbursement of such costs, unless otherwise agreed by the parties.
The CPT requires the seller to complete customs formalities for export, if applicable. However, the seller is not required to carry out import customs formalities, pay import duties or carry out other import customs formalities.
