Protective Film FCA Shipping

“Protective film FCA shipping” is an international trade term where FCA stands for “Free Carrier.”

It means that the seller delivers the goods to the designated carrier or specified location, and the seller’s responsibility is completed at this point. The buyer is then responsible for arranging the transportation of the goods and related costs.

Detailed explanation:

Let’s consider a scenario where a Chinese company (buyer) and a German company (seller) have entered into a transaction for protective film products, and they agree to use FCA shipping terms. According to the FCA terms, the seller’s responsibility is to deliver the goods to the designated carrier or specified location, typically at the seller’s factory or warehouse in Germany.

Here’s a specific example:

1. Contract agreement: The price of the protective film products is 5000 euros, and the delivery location is a factory in Germany.
2. Seller’s responsibility: According to the FCA terms, the seller prepares the goods at their factory in Germany and delivers the goods to the designated carrier or at the specified location, such as the loading area in the factory.
3. Buyer’s responsibility: Once the goods are delivered to the designated carrier or specified location, the seller’s responsibility is completed. Now, the buyer is responsible for arranging the transportation of the goods and paying related costs, such as international shipping fees, insurance fees, import duties, etc.
4. Transportation arrangements: The buyer can choose a suitable carrier or international logistics company to transport the goods. They can negotiate with the logistics company about the mode and timing of transportation, such as sea freight or air freight, and arrange for the goods to be transported from Germany to the destination in China.
5. Costs and risks: From the moment the goods are delivered to the carrier or specified location, the buyer is responsible for paying all transportation and related costs and bears the risk of the goods during transportation until the goods arrive at the destination in China and complete the delivery.

In summary, protective film FCA shipping means that the seller prepares the goods in Germany and delivers them to the designated carrier or location, after which the seller’s responsibility ends. The buyer is then responsible for arranging international transportation of the goods and paying all related costs and risks.
