The goods must be unloaded atthe terminal. DAT can be used with any transportation mode.  \nIt is recommended that the seller’s contract with their forwarding company mirrors the contract of sale.  \nDiagram: DAT – obligations from the seller and buyer, and where the transfer of risk between each party is  \ntransferred. Source: J Montezuma, Creative Commons BY-SA CC 4.0  \nTransport Modes:  \nRail, Sea, Air, Road  \nHow does DAT work?  \nDelivery at Terminal is used when the seller’s responsibility includes the full delivery of goods up until the end terminal or port of destination, as well as the unloading of the goods. The seller pays for all of the expenses incurred until the place of delivery and the buyer pays for customs clearance and taxes at destination.  \n‘Terminal’ means a quay, warehouse, container yard or any road for rail, air or road.  \nAs with all of the ‘D’ incoterms, the risks and responsibility of goods gets transferred from the seller to the buyer at the same point – the end destination. DAT was specifically designed to meet airport and port deliveries.  \nFor ocean cargo and shipping goods by sea, any discharged containers are then moved to a container yards (CY) , which is where containers are stored before they are moved to their final destination. Sellers are responsible for any destination terminal handling charges and the buyer only pays for customs clearance, duties and taxes.  \nDiagram: DAT involves the seller delivering the goods up to the destination terminal or port, to then be offloaded, at which point the liability of goods passes from seller to buyer.
