Transportation and loading

TRANSPORTATION AND LOADING

We use road transport, container transport and many different types of maritime transport for transporting our goods. We are working with well-known international transport companies with whom we have long-term cooperation experience.

We use specifically designed technology for loading the goods. The high-quality and quick process of loading the goods is performed by our professional team.

DELIVERY TERMS

Incoterms were established by International Chamber of Commerce in Paris in 1936. Incoterms 2010 entered into force on 1 January 2011. The terms of delivery used for transport define the delivery obligations between the seller and the buyer and the division of costs and risks in the course of transportation.

Rules applicable to any mode or modes of transportation:

EXW –Ex Works

The seller delivers the goods when he places the goods at the disposal of the buyer on his territory or another named place (i.e. works, factory, warehouse, etc.). The seller is not required to load the goods on any collecting vehicle or clear the goods for export, where clearing is considered relevant.

FCA –Free Carrier

The seller delivers the goods, cleared for export, to the carrier nominated by the buyer at the named place. As of that moment all goods-related costs and risk of loss or damage to the goods shall be transferred from the seller to the buyer.

CPT –Carriage Paid To

The seller pays for carriage to named destination. The risk of loss or damage to the goods, as well as all goods-related costs (not covered by the contract of carriage) shall transfer from the seller to the buyer when the goods are placed at the disposal of the carrier. “Carrier” means any person who, in a contract of carriage, undertakes to perform or to procure the performance of transport, by rail, road, sea, air, inland waterway or by a combination of such modes. The seller delivers the goods to the carrier as determined by chosen term of delivery, and not upon the arrival of the goods to the destination.

CIP –Carriage and Insurance Paid

The seller pays for carriage to named destination and procures insurance against the buyer’s risk of loss of or damage to the goods during the carriage. The risk of loss of or damage to the goods, as well as any additional goods-related costs (not covered by the contract of carriage) shall transfer from the seller to the buyer when the goods are placed at the disposal of the carrier. “Carrier” means any person who, in a contract of carriage, undertakes to perform or to procure the performance of transport, by rail, road, air, sea, inland waterway or by a combination of such modes. The seller delivers the goods to the carrier as determined by chosen term of delivery, and not upon the arrival of the goods to the destination.

DAT –Delivered at Terminal

Seller delivers when the goods, once unloaded from the arriving means of transport, are placed at the disposal of the buyer at a named terminal at the named port or place of destination. “Terminal” means any covered or exposed location, such as quay, warehouse, container yard or road, rail or air terminal. The seller bears all risks upon delivery and unloading of the goods at the terminal of named port or destination. This term emphasises the need of specifying the exact point within the named destination, because the seller bears all the costs and risks up to that point. DAT is a new term, which replaces term DEQ – Delivered Ex Quay that was used in previous version of Incoterms (2000).

DAP –Delivered at Place

The seller delivers the goods when they are placed at the disposal of the buyer on the arriving means of transport ready for unloading at the named place of destination. The seller bears all the risk involved in delivery of the goods to a named location. DAP is a new term, which replaces three terms (DAF, DES and DDU) that were used in previous version of Incoterms (2000)

DDP- Delivered Duty Paid

The seller delivers the goods to the buyer, cleared for import, and not unloaded from any arriving means of transport at the named place of destination. The seller has to bear all the costs and risks involved in bringing the goods to the named location. The seller is required to clear the goods for export and import, pay all export and import charges, and carry out all customs formalities.
