Carriage Paid To (CPT) rules require the seller to clear the goods and arrange carriage (by one or more transport modes) to the named place of destination. The seller does not need to obtain or pay for insurance. A carrier is any person or company who undertakes the carriage of the goods, such as a shipping line, airline, trucking company, railway or freight forwarder. In multimodal shipments, the place of shipment is the first carrier used. Under CPT rules, the seller’s risk ends, and the buyer’s risk begins, when the first carrier receives the goods from the seller. However, the buyer is only responsible for additional costs after the goods arrive at the final destination.
