"Terminal" is defined as any place covered or not like a quay, warehouse, container yard or road, rail or air cargo terminal (agreed terminal), the goods are considered delivered once unloaded from the arriving means of transport. The seller has no obligation to clear the goods for import, pay any import duty or carry out any import customs formalities. Where applicable, the seller is required to clear the goods for export. This term is limited to delivery at a terminal, should either party require the goods at a place beyond a terminal the terms DAP or DDP should be considered.

DAP

Delivered At Place – the seller is responsible to deliver the goods to the named destination place (agreed place), at the disposal of the buyer on the arriving means of transport ready for unloading. However, the seller has no obligation to clear the goods for import, pay any import duty or carry out any import customs formalities. Risk in transit transfers to the buyer, when the goods reach the named destination place (agreed place), ready for unloading from the arriving vehicle. The buyer is responsible for the unloading costs. Where applicable, the seller is required to clear the goods for export.
