Prior to the revision of the Incoterms, only a minimum insurance coverage pursuant to Clauses C of the Institute Cargo Clauses was required.
This Incoterm is normally used in cases when the parties do not wish that the seller bear the risk and cost of unloading, contrary to the DPU Incoterm see below. Under the DAP Incoterm, the goods are deemed delivered by the seller to the buyer when they are put at the disposal of the buyer on the transportation vehicle ready for unloading at the place of destination or an agreed point within such place, if any.
Therefore, the seller bears the risk until it has put the goods at the disposal of the buyer at the place of destination as described above. Although it has an obligation to conclude a contract of carriage or arrange at its costs for the carriage of the goods and to clear the goods for export not import , the seller is not required to unload the goods from the transportation vehicle at the place of destination.
In addition, neither the seller, nor the buyer, is required to subscribe an insurance contract. According to the DPU Incoterm, the delivery of the goods by the seller to the buyer occurs when the goods are unloaded from the transportation vehicle and put at the disposal of the buyer at the place of destination or at the agreed point within the place of destination, if any. Therefore, the seller bears the risk until it has unloaded the goods at the place of destination.
In addition, the seller undertakes to conclude a contract for carriage or arrange carriage at its own expense. It also has an obligation to clear the goods for export. However, no such obligation is imposed for import. Under the DDP Incoterm, the goods are supposed to be delivered by the seller to the buyer if they are placed at the disposal of the buyer, cleared for import, on the arriving transportation vehicle, ready for unloading at the place of destination or an agreed point within such place, if any.
As in the case of the other Incoterms, the DDP Incoterm requires that the seller conclude the contract of carriage or otherwise arrange the carriage at its expense. The seller undertakes to clear the goods for export, not import.
The seller is under no obligation to conclude a contract of carriage. In turn, it is the buyer who bears all expenses regarding the carriage of the goods from the named port of shipment.

Export Administration Regulations and the Foreign Trade Regulations the seller does not escape responsibility for export compliance.
The seller is responsible for either making the goods available at its own premises or at a named place. In either case, the seller is responsible for loading the goods on the buyer's transport and is responsible for delivery to the port and export clearance including security requirements. This term has changed the most in the Incoterms rules. Previously, problems occurred with this term when the seller was responsible for loading the goods on a truck or some other transport hired by the buyer and not directly on the international carrier.
If the seller and buyer had agreed on using a letter of credit as the payment method for this transaction, banks often require the seller to present a bill of lading with an on-board notation before they can get paid. An international carrier won't typically provide a seller who did not present the goods directly to them with such a bill of lading. Under the new Incoterms rules, FCA allows the parties to agree in the sales contract that the buyer should instruct its carrier to issue a bill of lading with the on-board notation to the seller.
Seller clears the goods for export and delivers them to the carrier or another person stipulated by the seller at a named place of shipment. Seller is responsible for the international transportation costs associated with delivering goods to the named foreign place of destination.
The transfer of risk, on the other hand, transfers from the seller to the buyer as soon as the goods are delivered to the international carrier. That means the buyer assumes the risk of loading the goods on the carrier and during the international transport of the goods. Seller clears the goods for export and delivers them to the carrier or another person stipulated by the seller at a named place of shipment, at which point risk transfers to the buyer.
Seller is responsible for the transportation costs associated with delivering goods and procuring insurance coverage to the named place. The amount of insurance that the seller must purchase has increased under Incoterms rules for CIP. The seller must purchase a broader level of insurance coverage than under the old Incoterms CIP rule.
Seller clears the goods for export and bears all risks and costs associated with delivering the goods to the named foreign destination not unloaded. DAP means the buyer is responsible for all costs and risks associated with unloading the goods and clearing customs to import the goods into the named country of destination.
The named place under this term can be a port, the buyer's location or any named place that is agreed upon. In that regards, DAP provides a lot of flexibility to both parties. This term is often used for consolidated containers with multiple consignees. Like DAP, the seller clears the goods for export and bears all risks and costs associated with delivering the goods to the named place, which can be a port or other named location in the foreign destination.
Buyer is responsible for all costs and risks from this point forward including clearing the goods for import at the named country of destination. DDP Incoterms means the seller bears all risks and costs associated with delivering the goods to the named place of destination ready for unloading and cleared for import.
DDP is a risky term for the seller, because they may not be fully aware of the import clearance procedures in the country of import or how to find a competent local customs broker.
The seller must also deal in a foreign currency, which means they are responsible for the currency exchange and its associated risks. In addition, not all countries allow for non-resident importers, which means the seller must determine how to establish an importer of record.
Because of all these hurdles that the seller must overcome, DDP may also have questionable value to importers, since they must depend on the seller to successfully navigate these challenges. Seller clears the goods for export and delivers them when they are placed alongside the vessel at the named port of shipment. This is not a commonly used term except for goods that may be difficult to load.
Seller clears the goods for export and delivers them when they are on board the vessel at the named port of shipment.
