This rule may be used irrespective of the mode of transport selected and may also be used where more than one mode of transport is employed. “Free Carrier” means that the seller delivers the goods to the carrier or another person nominated by the buyer at the seller’s premises or anothe r named place. The parties are well advised to specify as clearly as possible the point within the n amed place of delivery, as the risk passes to the buyer at that point. If the parties intend to delive r the goods at the seller’s premises, they should identify the address of those premises as the na med place of delivery. If, on the other hand, the parties intend the goods to be delivered at anoth er place, they must identify a different specific place of delivery.

However, the seller has no obligation to clear the goods for import, pay any import duty or carry out any import customs formalities.
该术语适用于所选择的任一运输方式，也可被用于多式联运。“Free Carrier”是指卖方只要将货物在其所在地或指定交货地点交给买方指定的承运人，即完成交货。当事人应尽可能精准地指定交付地点，因为到达指定地点后风险由买方承担。如果当事人计划在卖方所在地交货，则应指明卖方所在地的地址为指定的交付地点。如果当事人计划在另一地点交货，则应指明另一明确的交货地点。FCA要求在需要办理海关手续时由卖方负责货物出口清关。然而，卖方并没有义务办理货物进口清关、负担任何进口关税或办理任何进口海关手续。
