What This CFR Japan Price Represents

Daily CFR Japan naphtha cargo assessment in USD/mt — the delivered value at Japanese discharge ports, including freight from the loading area. Market convention may also refer to this basis as C+F Japan.

Compare With

Each comparison states why the series are related and whether the latest values can be subtracted directly (same unit, currency and assessment date). Where they cannot, the values are shown side by side without a difference.

Different delivery terms (CFR vs FOB); the gap may reflect freight, insurance, location basis, parcel and timing differences and is not a trading margin.

CommodityScope Assessment Basis

This is the CommodityScope series definition for the published midpoint and assessment range. Characteristics that are not part of this basis are not inferred.

Product
Naphtha
Product quality
Open-specification naphtha as typically offered for petrochemical or gasoline-blendstock use. CommodityScope does not assess a named paraffin, density or sulphur specification.
Location basis
CFR Japan
Parcel basis
Typical physical cargo as transacted on the stated location basis. CommodityScope does not fix a standard parcel tonnage.
Delivery / loading period
Not fixed in the published series basis.
Assessment window
CommodityScope daily assessment dated as of the published assessment date.
Currency / unit
USD/mt
Normalization
Inputs used for the midpoint and the assessment range are considered only after they can be expressed on this series basis and unit. Cross-unit values are not converted on the public site and are not mixed into this series.

Market convention may also refer to this basis as C+F Japan.

Terms not specified

  • The series basis names this series as “Naphtha” and does not specify a fuller specification; none is assumed here.

Specification · series name and basis only

The series basis does not specify a product specification beyond its name and basis; none is assumed.

Basis: CFR Japan

  • CFR Japan: cost and freight to Japan; the loading origin is not fixed by the quote. Market convention may also refer to this basis as C+F Japan.
  • CFR (cost and freight): the price includes freight to the named destination but not insurance; it is a delivered-basis value for the importing market.
  • Japan on a CFR basis means product delivered to Japanese discharge ports; the price includes freight from the loading area. Market convention may also refer to this as C+F Japan.

Unit: USD/mt

  • USD/bbl values (Singapore, Arab Gulf, Fujairah) and USD/mt values (Europe, Japan naphtha) cannot be compared without a product-specific density conversion; the site does not convert them.
  • CommodityScope publishes a midpoint and an assessment range around that midpoint; the range is an uncertainty interval, not a bid/offer spread. Charts and monthly statistics use the midpoint only.
How to use this series, and what it is not for

How to use this series

  • Follow cracker-feedstock costs by region; compare with gasoline in the same basis to read blending economics.

What it is not suitable for

  • Converting between USD/bbl and USD/mt without a density assumption.
