Glossary

Delivered At Frontier (... named place). In DAF, the seller/exporter/manufacturer clears the goods for export and is responsible for making them available to the buyer at the named point and place at the frontier, not unloaded, and not cleared for import.
In the DAF term, naming the precise point, place, and time of availability at the frontier is very important as the buyer must make arrangements to unload and secure the goods in a timely manner.
Frontier can mean any frontier including the frontier of export.
The DAF term is valid for any mode of shipment, so long as the final shipment to the named place at the frontier is by land.
The seller is not responsible for procuring and paying for insurance cover.
Example: DAF Laredo, Texas. Seller is in Dallas, Texas, buyer is in Mexico Ciy, Mexico. The shipment travels by truck from Dallas to the frontier at Laredo, Texas USA, where the buyer takes possession and trucks the goods to Mexico City.
