TL;DR<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In everyday trade, CNF usually refers to the same Cost and Freight arrangement as CFR.<\/strong> The seller arranges and pays ocean freight to the named destination port, while risk transfers to the buyer once the goods are on board the vessel at the origin port<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The important distinction is that CFR is the official Incoterms\u00ae 2020 rule<\/strong>, while CNF is informal trade shorthand<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For contracts, purchase orders, formal quotations, and letters of credit, prefer precise wording such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

CFR Rotterdam, Incoterms\u00ae 2020<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The biggest misunderstanding is simple: the seller may pay freight all the way to the destination port while the buyer already bears transit risk from the origin port.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cost destination<\/strong> and the risk-transfer point<\/strong> are not the same place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
