Best Answer

CFR {+ the named port of destination}

Cost and Freight

The delivery of goods to the named port of destination (discharge) at the seller's expense. Buyer is responsible for the cargo insurance and other costs and risks. The term CFR was formerly written as C&F. Many importers and exporters worldwide still use the term C&F.

In the export quotation, indicate the port of destination (discharge) after the acronym CFR, for example CFR Karachi and CFR Alexandria.

Under the rules of the INCOTERMS 1990, the term Cost and Freight is used for ocean freight only. However, in practice, the term Cost and Freight (C&F) is still commonly used in the air freight.

What is difference between Fob Cif and cfr?

In the United States FOB is used for domestic shipping and CFR for international shipping. FOB means Freight on Board or Free on Board or the shipper loads the truck or train car. The buyer is responsible for shipping fees. In the United States, the trucking line or Rail Road Company is responsible for the cost if the merchandise is destroyed in an accident. CFR means the shipper pays the expenses of getting the shipment onto the boat or airplane. Shipping fees are the responsibility of the buyer. Insuring the merchandise incase of shipwreck or piracy is also the responsibility of the purchaser. CIF means the seller pays for the expenses of getting the freight loaded, the insurance, and the freight.
