Italian term or phrase: franco cava
Hello everyone,

I'm doing a translation from Italian into English about a mining company and I've found the following term. I don't know if there is a correspondent term in English. This is the context: Il prezzo è franco cava ed il trasporto avviene a carico del cliente.

Please advise!

Thanks

agree  philgoddard: Though I think "ex" is starting to sound a bit old-fashioned now, like "ex works". I would say "the price does not include delivery from the quarry".
