CPT (Carriage Paid To)

International trade term for any mode of transport. When goods are bought or sold “carriage paid to” (CPT), this means that the seller delivers the goods to a destination agreed in advance between the seller and the buyer. The seller is responsible for arranging and paying for transport to the buyer’s appointed carrier. Once the cargo has arrived at the first carrier, the risk is transferred to the buyer.
