FAR 52.247-39 F.o.b. Inland Point, Country of Importation.

The codified text (eCFR, as of 2026-10-02). Under the Revolutionary FAR Overhaul ↗, agencies follow class deviations with new text for many parts while the formal rules go through the Federal Register: check the solicitation and your contract's clauses, which rule.

In plain English

This clause defines the delivery term 'f.o.b. inland point, country of importation' as free of expense to the Government, delivered on board the carrier's conveyance at the specified inland point where the consignee's facility is located. It matters to contractors because it places packing, delivery, and payment of all charges up to that inland point on the Contractor.

Applies to: Contractors under solicitations and contracts where the delivery term is f.o.b. inland point, country of importation
