Implementation Date: January 1, 2020
The first Incoterms rules
were released in 1936 by the International Chamber of Commerce. They
caused a sensation in the business world given that they represented a
radically new concept in an industry regulated by local rules of law.
ICC's Incoterms help traders avoid misunderstandings by clarifying the
costs, risks, and the allocation of certain responsibilities of buyers
and sellers in contracts for the sale of goods.
Incoterms® 2020
continues an 80-year ICC tradition and reflects the latest developments
in commercial practice and updates, and consolidates some of the former
rules. Changes made to the rules have been made to adapt the terms to
new developments in world trade.
Rules for any mode of transport: EXW FCA CPT CIP DAT DAP DDP
Rules for waterway transport: FAS FOB CFR CIF
