Abstract—Trade terms, also known as price terms, are the technical terms that describe the risks involved in the delivery of goods, and the division of liability costs. With the emergence of new shipping method like container transport, freight transport is no longer confined to water transport. Since the introduction of trade terms, FCA, CPT, CIP gradually improve and become mature after years of development. This paper attempts to compare CPT with CFR, FCA, CIP, and grasp the similarities and differences between them, so as to better understand the risk transfer and the cost division in CPT trade terms.
Index Terms—Trade terms, CPT, risk, cost.
