The supplier's responsibilities include: organization of all necessary procedures, payment of export duties, organization of transportation with boarding of the specified vessel. The importer has three things to do: arrange delivery to his country, resolve issues for the import of goods, and unload it. The transfer of responsibility for the order is carried out after the bill of lading is marked on the acceptance of the cargo on board the vessel. A bill of lading is a document confirming receipt by a sea or river carrier of cargo, the obligation of the carrier's company to forward it to the address.
When choosing this basis, the supplier is engaged in shipping goods to the carrier chosen by the importer, filling out documents on their transfer, and paying duties. The buyer is looking for a carrier, paying for transportation services, unloading in his country, and paying export duties. Responsibility passes after the shipment of the order to the carrier's transport. But after passing all the necessary procedures for export. FCA is actively used if it is necessary to carry out transportation by motor transport. It also adds responsibilities to the selling side, relieves the buying side from communicating with foreign customs officers.
The export side is engaged in moving the ordered cargo to the buyer's vessel. Registration and payment of export duties. The importing party must: · Conclude a contract with the carrier. · Organize the loading. · Pay for transportation to the final destination. · Arrange unloading, pay terminal expenses. · Arrange all import procedures. · Organize the movement of the cargo that has passed customs. The importer takes responsibility when the order is placed at the berth.
In this basis, the responsibilities between the parties to the transaction are equally distributed. The seller is engaged in moving the order to the port, loading it onto the ship, and organizing all necessary export procedures. The buyer organizes the transfer from the destination port. It pays for all necessary procedures, including customs, terminal, import, and also organizes the unloading of containers from the ship.
