International trade contracts and Incoterms
Introduction:
Different countries have different business cultures and languages. It's a good idea to make sure you have a clear written contract to minimize the risk of misunderstandings. The contract should set out where the goods are being delivered. It should cover who is responsible for every stage of the journey, including customs clearance, and what insurance is required. It should also make it clear who pays for each different cost. To avoid confusion, internationally agreed Incoterms should be used to spell out exactly what delivery terms are being agreed, such as:
- where the goods will be delivered
- who arranges transport
- who is responsible for insuring the goods, and who pays for insurance
- who handles customs procedures, and who pays any duties and taxes
International Commercial Contracts - Incoterms
This guide explains the basics principles of International Commercial Terms (Incoterms), and how traders can use them in buyer or seller contracts to make clear who is responsible for the goods at each point of the transport process. The guide also explains the benefits of using Incoterms and what each Incoterm means for the buyer and seller, as well as offering sources of further help and advice for traders.
