What does CPT (Carriage Paid To) mean in logistics?
Short answer
Incoterm for any mode: the seller pays carriage to the named destination, but risk passes to the buyer when the goods are handed to the first carrier.
The container and air equivalent of CFR. Useful for Indian exporters handing containers to a carrier at an ICD rather than at the ship’s rail. Ask our desk how this applies to your consignment.
