Incoterms
What are Incoterms
INCOTERMS (International Commercial Terms) are a set of standards that exporters and importers use to ship goods internationally. They outline the responsibilities, risks, and costs of the seller and buyer.
The responsibilities outline who does what, such as who arranges for the transportation or insurance of the goods, who handles export or import formalities, and who pays customs duties. The risks outline where responsibility for the safety of the goods passes from the supplier to the buyer. For example, in the EXW Incoterm, the buyer is responsible for the goods after collecting them from the supplier’s warehouse.
The costs detail how the costs of transportation, packaging, loading or unloading, as well as costs related to inspection and security, are divided.
Incoterms do not define:
- product characteristics;
- transfer of ownership of the product;
- time, place, method and currency of payment for the product;
- consequences of delay and other violations in case of failure to fulfill agreements;
- force majeure;
- intellectual property rights and dispute resolution in case of their violation.
Secure these points in the sales contract separately. The contract will be needed at the bank, tax office and customs, and if there is a dispute with a partner, possibly also in court. Why and in what cases is a foreign trade contract needed.
Incoterms rules are otherwise called the basis, because the rules stipulate the basic terms of delivery. You may also hear the term “delivery basis”. Each basis consists of a three-letter abbreviation that contains the key meaning of the rule.
Before choosing a basis, estimate the delivery costs. Costs for different Incoterms can differ by two times. For example, an importer will spend approximately $600 on EXW, while CIF may cost up to $1,200. The chosen Incoterms determines transportation and procurement costs, the final price of the goods, and the customs value.
