CPT (Carriage paid to)

An Incoterm that means the exporter pays for the freight of the goods to the named destination. The buyer pays for the insurance. The title (ownership and risk) transfers when the goods have been delivered to the custody of the first carrier, and not at the ship's rail. Accordingly, CPT can be used for all modes of transportation, including multimodal transport.
