delivery fca

delivery fca refers to the “Free Carrier” shipping term under Incoterms, which defines the responsibilities of the seller and buyer in an international transaction. Under FCA, the seller is responsible for delivering the goods to a specified location, such as a carrier’s facility or a port of shipment. Once the goods are delivered, the risk and responsibility for the goods shift to the buyer. FCA is commonly used for air and ocean shipments and is a preferred shipping term for businesses dealing with international customers. For e-commerce businesses, understanding FCA can help in determining which party covers shipping costs, insurance, and other logistics-related expenses.
