There is no such term as \"Le Franco Livraison\".

All shippers use standard INCOTERMS, which you can find on the site of the International Chamber of Commerce (Paris), which controls the terms...

The correct term in this case is \"Franco Entrepôt\" = \"Free along side warehouse\".

In any case, they mean that delivery to buyer\'s warehouse is paid.

It also means that all other charges up to that point are paid, i.e. loading / unloading on-board ship, customs duties (if any), transportation to the warehouse.

free of charge delivery


Explanation:
...but that does not mean that you will not have to pay all the fees between "ex warehouse" to "delivery duty paid" ( I am now talking about Import/export)

Le Franco does not exists : \" Franco de port\" is the correct term : but there are some variants associated wit \"Faqnco\"... in your case it iws \"\"franco de port\".

agree  PaulaMac (X): right - how about prepaid
32 mins
  -> I shy away from prepaid because most companies that ship merchandise do not actually "prepay" anything. They pay 90 days later, if then.
