Terminal includes any place, such as quay, warehouse, container yard or road, rail or air cargo terminal. - The seller bears all risks involved in bringing the goods to and unloading them at the terminal at the named port or place of destination. - If the seller should bear the risks and costs involved in transporting and handling the goods from the terminal to another place, then DAP or DDP should be used - DAT requires the seller to clear the goods for export, but has no obligation to clear the goods for import or pay any duty or carry out import customs formalities
