CFR, or Cost and Freight (sometimes written C&F), is an Incoterm under which the seller pays for carriage of the goods to the named destination port. Risk, however, passes to the buyer once the goods are on board at the origin port, and the buyer arranges insurance and handles import clearance and onward delivery.
CFR is one of the two standard terms we quote for egg exports from India. It suits buyers who want a single freight-inclusive price to their own port without arranging the ocean booking themselves, but who prefer to place their own cargo insurance, often through an existing policy. The quote is tied to a named destination port, for example CFR Hamad Port, so the extent of our freight responsibility is clear. If you would also like insurance arranged on your behalf, CIF adds that cover to the same freight-paid structure.
