Incoterms (International Commercial Terms 2000) are a key piece of information for all shipments, and must be correct. Essentially they clarify the risk, responsibility and who is liable for various costs in international business transactions. There are 13 different terms, covering everything from the seller bearing all the risk (DDU or DDP) to the buyer bearing all the risk and responsibility (EXW) and many different scenarios in between.
They must be included in all international sales contracts as a form of identification of risk and responsibility for the Supplier, Buyer, Freight Forwarder and are used as a vital tool by Customs for determining the Customs value of a shipment on which duties and taxes are payable.
