Context is: trade term. An international commercial term (Incoterm) meaning "cost and freight." The term is used in international sales contracts to signify that the seller must pay the cost and freight necessary to bring goods to a port of destination, but that the risk of loss or damage passes from the seller to the buyer when the goods pass the ship's rail in the port of shipment. Because a CFR selling price includes the cost of the goods and freight but not the cost of insurance, this term of sale is often used when the government in an importing country requires that insurance be supplied by a company subject to its jurisdiction. Prior to the 1990 version of the Incoterms, C&F was used instead of CFR, with the same meaning. See also CIF; CIP; CPT; DAF; DDP; DDU; DEQ; DES; EXW; FAS; FCA; FOB; Incoterms.
This is an INCO term and explains what the price quoted represents and the responsibility of the buyer and seller in relation to arranging for the various costs associated (e.g. insurance, freight, duties) with the shipment.

(Cost and Freight) This term formerly known as CNF (C&F) defines two distinct and separate responsibilities-one is dealing with the actual cost of merchandise "C" and the other "F" refers to the freight charges to a predetermined destination point. It is the shipper/seller's responsibility to get goods from their door to the port of destination. "Delivery" is accomplished at this time. It is the buyer's responsibility to cover insurance from the port of origin or port of shipment to buyer's door. Given that the shipper is responsible for transportation, the shipper also chooses the forwarder.
