businesses broader access than ever before to markets all over the world Goods are sold in more countries, in larger quantities, and in greater variety But as the volume and complexity o f global sales increase, so possibilities for m isunderstandings and costly disputes when sale contracts are not adequately drted The incoterms® ruỉes, the ICC rules on the use o f domestic and intemationaỉ trade terms, facilitate the conduct o f ^lobal trade Reíerence to an Incoterms® 2010 rule in a sale contract clearỉy dlnes the parties' respective obligations and reduces the risk o f legal complications Since the creation o f the Incoterms rules by ICC in 1936, this globally a c ce p ted c ontractual Standard has been regulariy u p d a te d to k e e p pace with the developm ent o f I n t e r n a t i o n a l trade The ỉncoteniìs® 2010 rules take account o f the continued spread o f customs-free zones, the increased use o f electronic Communications in business transactions, heightened concem about security in the movement o f goođs and chanoes in transport practices ỉncoterm s-^ Ì0 updates and consolidates the 'delivered’ rules, reducing the tptai num ber o f rules íroni

s® ruỉes explain a set o f íhrce-ỉetter trade term s reílectine business-to-business practice in contracts for thc sale o f soods The incoterms rules describe rnainly ihe tasks, costs and risks invoỉved in the deliver> o f eoods from sellers to buvers How to use the Incoterms® 2010 rules Incorporate the Incoterms® 2010 rules into your contract of sale ỉf you want the ỉncoíermsíg;' 2010 rules ro apply to vour contract, you should make this clear in the contĩrict throueh such \vords as "[the chosen Incoterms n iỉe incỉĩiding ỉhe named pỉace /o ỉk n v e d by] Incoterms® 2010" Choose the appropriate Incoterms rule The chosen Incoterms ruie needs to be appropriate to the soods, to thi, means o f their transport, and above all to whether the parties intend to pui additional obligalions, for example such as the obligation to organize carriage or Insurance, on the seller or on the buyer The G uidance Note to each íncoterm s rule contains infomiation that is pailicularlv he!pful when making this choice W hichever íncoterms rule is chosen the parties should be aware that the ịníerpretation o f their contract may wel! be innưenced by custom s particular to the port or place beiníi

as precisely as possible A ^ood exam ple o fsu c h precision wouid be; “ FC A 38 Cours Albert er, Paris, Prancc Incerms® 2010” Under the Incoterm s rules Ex Works (EXW), Free Carrier (FCA), Delivered at Terminal (DAT), Deỉivered at Place (DAP), Delivered Duty Paid (DDP), Free Alongsỉde Ship (FAS), and Free on Board (FOB), the named place is the place \vhere delivery takes place and where risk passes from the seller to the buỵer Under the ỉncoterms rules Carrìage Paid To (CPT), Carriage and Insurance Paid To (CIP) Cost and Preight (CFR) and Incoterms® 2010 119 Internatỉonaỉ Chamber of Commerce (ICC) Cost, Insurance and Preight (CỈF), the named place diíĩers from the piace o f delivery Under these four ỉncoterm s ruỉes, the named place is the place o f destination to vvhich carriage is paid Indications as to place or destination can helpfully be further specified by statiim a precise point in that place or destination in order to avoid doubí or ar^ument Remember that InCoterms rules not give you a complete Contract of sale Incoterms rules say which party to the sale contract has the obligation to make carriage or insurance arrangemenls, when the seỉler delivers the goods to the biiyer, and which costs each party is responsibỉe for Incoterms rules, hovvever, say nothing about the price to be paid or the method o f its payment N either they deal with the transíer o f ONvnership o f the goods, or the consequences o f a breach o f contrací These matters are normaỉly dealí vviỉh throuuh express lerm s in the contract o f sale or in the la\v governing that contract The parties shouỉd he aware that mandatory locaỊ law may override any aspect o f the sale contract, including the chosen Incoteims rule IMain ĩcatures o f the Incoterms® 2010 ruies Two new ỉnCoterms rules - DAT and DAP - have replaced the Incoterms 2000 rules DAF, DES, DEQ and DDU The number o f Incoterms rules has been reduced írom 13 to Ị This has been achieved by substituting two new rules that may be used irrespective o f the agreed mode o f transport - DAT, Delivered at Terminaỉ, and DAY, Delivered at Place - for the Incoterms 2000 ruỉes DAF, DES, DEQ and DDU Under both nevv rules, delivery occurs at a named destination: in DAT, at the buyer’s disposal unloaded from the arriviníì vehicle (as under the tbĩTĩìer DEQ rule); in DAP lìkewise at the buyer's disposa!, bui ready tbr unloadỉng (as under the former DAF, DES and DDU rules) The nevv rules make the Incoterms 2000 rules DES and DEỌ supertluous The named terminal in DAT may well be in d pdrt, and DAT can therefore safeỉy be useđ in cases v/hcic the Incoterms 2000 ruỉe DEQ once was Likevvise, m e a i T Ì v í n g “ v e h i c l e ” under DAP may w e l l b e a ship and the named place o f destination may well be a port: consequently, DAY can safelỵ be used in cases where the Incoterms 2000 rule DES once was These new rules, like their predecessors, are '‘deiivered”, with the seller bearing all the costs (other than those related to import clearance, vvhere appỉicable) and risks ínvolved in bringing the ^oods to the named place o f destination 120 Incotemns® 2010 International Chamber of Commercfi (ICC) Classification of the 11 Incoterms® 2010 rules The 11 ỉncolenns® 2010 rules are presented in t\vo distinct classes; RULES FOR ANY MODE OR MODES F TRANSPORT EXW EX WORKS FCA PREECARRIER CPT CARRIAGE PAID TO CIP CARRIAGE AND INSURANCE PAID TO DAT DELIVERED AT TERMINAL DAP DELIVERED AT PLACE DDP DELỈVERED DUTY PAID R U LES FOR SEA AND INLAND VVATERVVAY TRAN SPO RT FAS FREE ALONGStDE SHIP FOB PR EEO N BOARD CFR C O STA N D PR EIG H T CIF COST INSURANCE AND PREIGHT The íìrst class includes the seven ỉncoterms® 2010 ruỉes thai can be used irrespective o f the mode of transport selecteđ and irrespective o f whether one or more than one mode o f transport is employed EXW, FCA, CPT, CIP DAT, DAP and DDP belong lo this cỉass 'íhey can be used even when there is no maritime transport at aỉl It is important to remember, hovvever, that these rules can be used in cases \vhere a ship is used íbr part o f the carriage In the second cíass o f Incoteims® 2010 ruies, the poịnt o f delivery and the place to which the goods are carried to the buyer are both ports, hence the label “sea and inỉand waterway" rules FAS, í'OB, CFR and CiF belong to this class Under the !ast three incolcrms rules, al! mention of the ship's raiỉ as the point o f delivety has been omiited in preíerence for the goods being delivered when they are “on board” the vessel This more closely reílects modern commercia: reaỉity and avoids the rather dated image o f the risk svvinging to and fro across an imaginary perpendicular line lncotermsfS)2010 121 International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) Rules fo r domestic and international trade Incoterms ruỉes have tradiíionally been used in internaíionaỉ saỉe contracts where goods pass across nationaỉ borders In various areas o f the vvorld, however, trade blocs, like the European Union, have made border forma!ities between different countries ỉess siiíỉiiíícant Consequently, the subtitle o f the Incoterms® 2010 rules íorm ally recognizes that they are available for application to both international and domestic sale contracts As a result, the Incoterms® 2010 rules clearly State in a number o f places that the obligation to compỊv vvith export/ import forma!ities exists only where applicable Two deveỉopm ents have persuaded ICC that a movement in this direction is timely Pirstly, traders commonly use Incoterms rules for purel> domestic sale contracts The second reason is the ^reater vvillingness in the United States to use Incoterms rules in domestic trade rather than the former Uniform Commercial Code shipment and delivery terms Guìdance Notes Before each Incoterms® ]0 rule you vviỉl flnd a G uidance Nole The Guidance Notes explain the ĩundamentals o f each Incoterms rule, such ds when it should be used, when risk passes, and how costs are allocated betvveen seiler and buyer The Guidance Notes are not part o f the actua Incoteim s® 2010 rules, but are intended to help the user accurately and eíTiciently steer towards the appropriate Incoterms rule for a paríiculai transaction Electronic communication Previous versions o f Incoterms rules have specified those documents that could be replaced by EDI messages Articles A I/B I o f the Incoternis® 2010 ruỉes, hovvever, now give electronic means o f com munication the same eíTect as paper communication, as long as the parties so a»ree or where customary This formulation ĩacilitates the evolution o f new electronic procedures ihroughout the liíetim e o f the Incoterms® 2010 rules Insurance cover The Incoterms® 2010 rules are the fĩrst version o f the Incoterms rules since the revision o f the Institute Cargo Clauses and take account ' alterations made to those clauses The Incoterms® 2010 rules place information duties relating to Insurance in articles A3/B3, which deal with contracts o f carriage and insurance These provisions have been moved from the more generic articles found in articies AIO/BIO o f the Incoterms 2000 rules The language in articles A3/B3 relating to Insurance has also been aỉtered with a view to clarifying the parties’ obligations in this regard 122 Incoterms® 2010 International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) Security-reỉated clearances and Jnform ation required fo r such clearances There is heightened concern novvadays aboưí ecuDly in the movement of goods requiring verification thai the goods du noi pose a threat to !ife o r property for reasons other than their inhercní nature Therefore, the Incoterms® 2010 rules have allocated oblií^at.ons between the buyer and seỉler to obtain or to render assistance in obtaining security-relaled cỉearances, such as chain-of-custody informaiion in articles A2/B2 and A 10 /B 10 o f various Incotenns ruies Terminal handling charges U nder Incoterms rules CPT, C!P CFR CỈF DAT, DAP and DDP, the selỉer must make arranííements for the carria»e of the goods to the asreed destination While the freight is paid by the seỉỉer, it is actually paid for by the buyer as freight costs are normaỉly included by the seMer in the totai selling price The carrỉage costs wilỊ sometimes include the costs of h a n d lin g and m o v i n s the aoods within port or Container term in a l facilities and the carrier or tenninal operator may \vell charge these costs to the buyer who receives the goods ín these circumstances, the buyer wili want to avoid paying for the same Service t\vice: once to the seller as part o f the total selling price and once independently to the carrier or the terminal operator The Incoterms® 2010 rules seek to avoid this happening by clearly allocating such costs in articles A6 B6 of the relevant Incoterms rules, strin g sales !n the sale o f commodities, as opposed to the saie ofm anufactured goods, cargo is frequentỉy sold severaỉ times u rìm trisit “down a string" When this happens, a selier in the middỉe of ihe string does not "ship” the goods because íhese havc already beeri shipped by the íìrst seller in the string The seller in the middle of the síring tliereíore performs ils obligations tovvards its buyer not by shippinii the goods, biil by ''procuring” ^oods that have been shippl For clarifìcation purposes, Ịncolerms(iC' 2010 rules include the obligation to “procure uoods shipped’' as an alternative to the obligation to sliip goods in thc rclevant Incoterms rules Variants o f Incoterms ruỉes Sometimes the parties want to alter an Ịncoterms rule The Incotemis® 20 ỉ rules not prohibit such alteration, but íhcre are dangers in so doing In order to avoid any unvvelcome surpriscs tlie parties woưld need to make the intended eíĩect of such alteraiions extremely clear in their contract Thus, for example if the allocion o f costs in the ỉncoterms® r u ỉ e s is a ỉ t e r e d in t h e cont ct , the pa r ti e s s h o u l d a l s o c l e a r l y State vvhether they intend to vary the point at \vhich the risk passes from seller to buyer incoterms® 2010 123 International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) Status o f this introduction This introduction gives general inforrttạtion on the use and interprctation o f the Incoterms® 2010 ruies, but does not fonn part o f those ruỉes Expỉanation o f terms used in the Incoterms® 2010 rules As in the Incoterms 2000 rules, the seller^s and buyer’s obligations are presented in mirror fashion, reílecting under column A the seller’s obligations and unđer column B the buyer’s obligations These obligations can be carried out personally by the selỉer or the buyer or sometimes, subject to terms in the contract or the applicable la\v, ihrouiíh intermediaries such as carriers, íreight forwarders or other persons nominated by the seller or the buyer for a speciíĩc purpose The texí o f the Incoterms® 2010 rules is meant to be self-explanatorv' However, in order to assist users the foỉỉowing text sets out ouidạnce as to the sense in which seỉected terms are used throughout the document C a rrie r: For the purposes o f the Incerms® 2010 ruies the carrier is the party with whom carriage is contracted C ustom s form alities: These are requirements to be met in order to comply vvith any appỉicable customs regulations and may include documentary, security, information or physicaỉ inspecrion obligations D elivery: This concept has multiple meanings in trade Ịaw and practice, but in the ỉncoterms® 20 ỉ rules, it is used to indicate where the risk oi' loss o f or damage to the goods passes from the seller to the buyer Deỉivery document; This phrase is now used as the heading to ariicle A8 It means a document used to prove that delivery has occurred For manỵ o f the Incoterms® 2010 rules, the delivery document is a transporí đocument or corresponding eỉectronic record Hovvever, vvith EXW, FCA, FAS and FOB, the delivery docum ent may simpiy be a receipt A deliveiy document may also have other functions, for example as part o f Ihe mechanism for payment Electronic record o r p ro ced u re: A set o f inĩormation constituted o f one ờr more electronic messages and, where applicable, being íunctionally equivalent with the corresponding paper document P ackagỉng: This word is used ío rd iíĩeren t purposes; 124 The packaging o f the goods

Chamber of Commerce (ICC) The stowage of the packaged goods vvithin a C ontainer or other means o f transport In the ỉncoterm s® 20 ì rules, packaging means both the fírst and second o f the above The Incoterms® 2010 rules not deal with the parties’ o b lig a tio n s for stovvage w ịthịn a Container and th erefore, w h e re relevant, the parties shouỉd deal with this in the sale contract ỉncoterms® 2010 125 .'i ì ^ l^m m erce (ICC) ô :j r 126 ncotermsđ 2010 International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) CIF COST INSURANCE AND PREIGHT C IF (insert nameđ port o f destination) ỉncotenns® 2010 GƯIDANCE NOTE This rule is to be used only for sea or inland \vatenvay transfX)rt “Cost, Insurance and Preight” means that the seller delivers the goođs on board ứie vessel or procures ứie goođs aiready so deiivered The risk o f loss o f or dam age to the goods passes when the goods are on board the vesse! The seller must conừact for and pay the costs and ữ eig h t necessary to bring the goods to the named port o f destination The seller also conừacts for Insurance cover against the b u y e r’s risk o f loss o f or dam age to the goods during the caưiage The buyer should note that under CIF the seller is required to obtain Insurance only on m inim um cover Should the buyer vvish to have more Insurance protection, it vviỊỊ need either to agree as much expressly with the seỉler or to m ake its own e x tr a I n s u n c e a rra n g e m e n ts W hen CPT, CIP, CFR, or CỈF are used, ữie seller fij|fils its obligation to deliver when it hands the goods over to the caưier in the m anner specified in the chosen rule and not when thẹ goods reach the place o f destination This rule has two critical points, because risk passes and costs are transfeưed at diíTerent places Whi!e the contract will alw ays specify a destination port, it might not speciíy the port o f shipnient, w hich is vvhere risk passes to the buyer lf the shipment port is o f particuỉar interest to the buyer, the parties are well ađvised to identiíy it as precisely as possible in the contract The parties are well advised to identiíy as precisely as possible the point at the agreed port o f destination, as the costs to that point are for the account o f the selỉer The seller is advised to procure contracts o f carriage that m atch this choice precisely !f the seller incurs costs under its contract o f carriage related to unloading at the speciĩied point at the port o f destination, the seller is not entitleđ to recover such costs from the buyer unless othenvise agreeđ between the parties Incoterms® 2010 219 International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) The seller is required either to deliver the goods on board the vessel or to procure goods already so delivered for shipment to the destination In addition the selỉer is requiređ eiứier to make a conừact o f carriage or to procure such a contract, The reíerence to “procure” here caters for m ultiple sales dow n a chain ('string sales’), particularly com m on in the com m odity trades CIF may not be appropriate where goods are hanđed over to ứie carrier before they are on board the vessei, for exam ple goods in containers, vvhich are typically deỉivered at a terminaỉ In such circum stances, the C ĨP rule shouỉd be used CIF requires the seller to clear ứie goods for export, w here applicable However, the seiler has no obligation to clear the goods for import, pay any im port duty or carry out any ùìiport customs ĩorm alities 220 Incotenms®
