DAF
DELIVERED AT FRONTIER (... named place)

"Delivered at Frontier" means that the seller delivers when the goods are placed at the disposal of
the buyer on the arriving means of transport not unloaded, cleared for export, but not cleared for
import at the named point and place at the frontier, but before the customs border of the adjoining
country.
The term "frontier" may be used for any frontier including that of the country of export. Therefore,
it is of vital importance that the frontier in question be defined precisely by always naming the
point and place in the term.
However, if the parties wish the seller to be responsible for the unloading of the goods form the
arriving means of transport and to bear the risks and costs of unloading, this should he made clear
by adding explicit wording to this effect in the contract of sale1 .
This term may be used irrespective of the mode of transport when goods are to be delivered at a
land frontier. When delivery is to take place in the port of destination, on board a vessel or on the
quay (wharf), the DES or DEQ terms should be used.
