Sample - Incoterms® 2020:

The Incoterms® 2020 are a set of international rules for the interpretation of the international trade terms set forth by the International Chamber of Commerce.

On January 1, 2020 the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) presented the new Incoterms® 2020.

1. The word Incoterm is an abbreviation of International Commercial Terms
2. The chosen Incoterm is a term of the contract of sale
3. The Incoterms® 2020 are not terms of the contracts of carriage or delivery
4. In International Trade transactions, one of the aspects to be defined is the place of delivery of the products. This place, previously agreed between the importer and the exporter, must be stated in the international sales contract

The Incoterms® 2020 facilitates foreign trade (imports and exports) by clearly defining:

1. Place of delivery
2. Who is the responsible for the transport to the place of delivery
3. Who assumes the risks and the place at which the risk passes from the exporter to the importer
4. Whom customs clears products for Import/Export
5. Moreover, many more significant obligations

The Incoterms® 2020 also establish a body of international rules for the interpretation of the most commonly used international trade terms.

Defining the obligations.

The Incoterms® 2020 enable the contracting parties to set out clearly and concisely extent of their respective duties, and above all, the moment when the costs and risks are transferred from the exporter to the importer.

In the Incoterms® 2020, the parties define the point to which the exporter is the responsible for the products and what are the expenses relating to his obligations, which will, therefore, should be included in the price offered by the exporter.

The Incoterms® 2020 cover various modes of transport of products, clearly defining in the international contract of sale the respective obligations of the exporter and the importer in each case.

Incoterms® 2020

In the Incoterms® 2020, all the associated costs with a given Incoterm are indicated in article A9 / B9.

The Incoterms® 2020 recognise that the transport can be carried out by the exporter or the importer, and not necessarily by a carrier.

Review of the Incoterm® 2020 FCA (Free Carrier)

Free Carrier (FCA) has been revised for those situations in which products are exported through FCA to be transported by sea, and the exporter or the importer (or their banks) requests a bill of lading with an on-board notation.

The importer will instruct the carrier to issue an on-board bill of lading to the exporter once the goods have been loaded on board, and that the exporter will then present the document (bill of lading) to the importer (usually through banks).

Change from DAT (Delivered in Terminal) to DPU (Delivered at Place Unloaded)

DPU (Delivered at Place Unloaded) is not a new Incoterm, but a name change from the old DAT (Delivered at Terminal), changing from Terminal to Place Unloaded.

Different levels of insurance coverage in CIF and CIP

Incoterms 2020 provide different levels of insurance coverage in CIF (Cost, Insurance and Freight) and CIP (Carriage and Insurance Paid To). The most used coverage is provided by the "Institute Cargo Clauses (C)"

It is essential that anyone using the Incoterms® 2020 buy the ICC guide (40 Euros in e-Book format, 50 Euros on paper) available in 29 languages.
