INCOTERMS

Incoterms are a series of internationally recognised trade terms used in sales contracts to establish the rights and duties of the parties involved regarding the delivery of goods. They are published by the International Chamber of Commerce, the latest edition on 1 January 2010.

Incoterms aren’t laws, they’re rules and practices, so a new version doesn’t substitute the previous ones.

Aspects covered

Delivery of goods. Delivery must not be confused with possession. Moment in which responsibility for goods is transferred from buyer to seller. Sharing of the costs involved in importing/exporting. Customs procedures.
