Under DAT terms, what is the seller's obligation?

Seller delivers goods to the buyer
Seller pays for transport and buyer lifts cargo onboard
Seller pays for carriage and insurance
Seller delivers goods to a terminal

The correct answer is: Seller delivers goods to a terminal

Under Delivery at Terminal (DAT) terms, the seller's obligation is to deliver goods to a designated terminal at the destination, where the goods are made available for the buyer. This includes the responsibility for all costs and risks associated with transporting the goods to that terminal. Once the goods are delivered to and ready for unloading at the terminal, the risk transfers to the buyer. This means that the seller must handle all aspects of the transportation process up until delivery at the terminal, covering statutory and contractual obligations until that point. The seller does not need to clear the goods through customs or pay any import duties, as those responsibilities are assumed by the buyer after delivery at the terminal. In this case, the choice indicating that the seller delivers goods to a terminal accurately reflects the seller’s responsibilities under DAT terms, aligning with the established Incoterms guidelines that designate the transition of risk and responsibility.
