CFR

CFR= Cost and Freight
The delivery of goods to the named port of destination (discharge) at the seller's expense. Buyer is responsible for the cargo insurance and other costs and risks. The term CFR was formerly written as C&F. Many importers and exporters worldwide still use the term C&F.
 
In the export quotation, indicate the port of destination (discharge) after the acronym CFR, for example CFR CHITTAGONG and CFR DHAKA AIR PORT.

Under the rules of the INCOTERMS 1990, the term Cost and Freight is used for ocean freight only. However, in practice, the term Cost and Freight (C&F) is still commonly used in the air freight.
