Forgetting to include the cost of freight in a contract does not fall under the category of commercial impracticability. It is a mistake on the seller's part and can be corrected through other means such as negotiation or renegotiation. The other options listed, such as governmental embargo or natural disasters, are situations that are beyond the seller's control and would fall under the doctrine of commercial impracticability.
