INCOTERMS is the global standard for the interpretation of trade terms. Understanding this and incorporating the use of it in sales contracts eliminates the uncertainties and errors in the interpretations created in a trade transaction.
Most often, parties to a contract are unaware of the different trading practices in their respective countries. This can give rise to misunderstandings, disputes and litigation, with all the waste of time and money that this entails. In order to remedy these problems, the International Chamber of Commerce published a set of international rules for the interpretation of trade terms. These rules are known as INCOTERMS. Learn the 13 vital trade terms under Incoterms 2000 EXW, FOB, FCA, FAS, CFR, CIF, CPT, CIP, DAF, DES, DEQ, DDU, DDP which have critical implications in the carriage of goods, allocation of cost between buyers and sellers, acquisition of transit cargo insurance, assumption of risks in loss and damage, and clearance documentation.
