FCA (Free Carrier)
Free Carrier
Incoterm where the seller delivers goods to a named carrier or place and clears them for export.
Examples
- 01Under FCA Stuttgart, the seller clears goods for export and hands them to the buyer's carrier at the seller's warehouse.
- 02Purchasing and logistics agree on FCA as the standard Incoterm for European suppliers because the handover point is clear.
- 03Using FCA instead of EXW ensures the seller loads the truck, reducing damage claims and arguments about responsibility.
