The terms of these 3 main options are shown below in larger type... All of the remaining Incoterms can also been reviewed below for your Ref: EXW - Ex-Works: A delivery term used where the Sellers only responsibility is to make goods available at his own premises/gate. The Seller has no responsibility or costs involved for loading/transporting of the goods. The Buyer bears full cost and risk in transporting the goods from the factory, to the final Buyers destination. FAS - Free Alongside Ship: The Seller's obligations are fulfilled as soon as the goods have been placed alongside the ship on the quay. The Buyer bears all shipping costs and risks from then on... FCA - Free Carrier: (Named Point): The Seller's obligation is met when the goods are transferred into the custody of the Carrier, at the Name Point. The risks transfers from Seller to Buyer at this point.

The risk thereafter transfers to the Buyer, as the goods pass over the ship's rail at the Port of Loading. CFR - Cost and Freight: The Seller pays the cost and freight of the goods to the named Port of Destination.

Which means that the Buyer has to cover and pay for the Insurance of the goods from the moments the goods are loaded on the ship and transported to the Buyers port of Discharge. CIF - Cost Insurance and Freight: Similar to CFR but here it is the Seller's duty to arrange all the insurance on behalf of the Buyer and pay the Insurance cost's/premium involved in the Shipping of the goods to the Buyer port of Discharge.
