What Are Incoterms? Understand Your Responsibilities!

Does your staff understand the “terms of sale” of your international transactions? Incoterms® – an acronym for International Commercial Terms – are rules first issued by the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) in 1936. Incoterms® rules are typically revised every ten years. The updates reflect changes in international trade practices. The 2020 terms updated responsibilities and obligations for buyers and sellers regarding delivery, transfer of risk of loss, transportation, and insurance, reporting the transaction to customs, transit security, and much more.

Are you using the correct rules for your business? 

Incorrect use of Incoterms® rules in an agreement between a seller and a buyer may add costs or confusion. Take our Incoterms® Rules training course to understand how to apply them in your company for your transactions – whether for export or import or domestic transactions.

This course is excellent for those just beginning in international trade or as a refresher for experienced professionals.
