Description
Incoterms® rules are a set of three letter acronyms which define the risks and responsibilities of buyers and sellers in international trade contracts and should be a key part of trade negotiations. But who is responsible for agreeing these terms and how well do they really understand them?
The correct use of Incoterms® rules is essential for the successful movement of goods between customers and suppliers around the globe. Getting them wrong can lead to delays, penalties, problems with payment and unhappy customers. Furthermore, your company may incur additional charges which erode profit margins.
Revised every ten years, the latest edition is Incoterms ® 2020. The rules are designed to keep pace with changes in international trade and the new definitions and revisions are designed to give greater clarity and precision to the terms. Which version of rules are you using – do you know the difference?
Do you understand why use of the correct incoterms rules is so important and how these impact on your purchasing/sales contracts?
