CPT

Category: Incoterms

Definition (plain English)

Seller pays carriage to named destination, typically for any transport mode.

Why it matters commercially

CPT is useful for non-ocean-only flows, but risk transfer still occurs before final arrival.

Example

Supplier quotes CPT inland terminal; buyer still plans import clearance and final-mile costs.

Common mistake

Reading CPT as if risk stays with seller until goods reach your warehouse.
