Incoterms are a set of rules which define the responsibilities of sellers and buyers for the delivery of goods under sales contracts for international trade.
They apportion transportation costs and responsibilities associated with the delivery of goods between buyers (importers) and sellers (exporters)
GROUP E – DERIVED FROM EX, DEPARTURE.
EXW
Ex Works.
Means that the seller delivers when it places the goods at the disposal of the buyer at the seller’s premises or at another named place (i.e.,works, factory, warehouse, etc.). The seller does not need to load the goods on any collecting vehicle, nor does it need to clear the goods for export, where such clearance is applicable.
GROUP F – MAIN CARRIAGE, UNPAID
FAS
Free Alongside Ship
The seller delivers when the goods are placed alongside the vessel (e.g., on a quay or a barge) nominated by the buyer at the named port of shipment. The risk of loss of or damage to the goods passes when the goods are alongside the ship, and the buyer bears all costs from that moment onwards.
FOB
Free On Board
The seller delivers the goods on board the vessel nominated by the buyer at the named port of shipment or procures the goods already so delivered. The risk of loss of or damage to the goods passes when the goods are on board the vessel, and the buyer bears all costs from that moment onwards.
Used for sea and inland waterway transport.
FCA
Free Carrier
The seller delivers the goods to the carrier or another person nominated by the buyer at the seller’s premises or another named place. The parties are well advised to specify as clearly as possible the point within the named place of delivery, as the risk passes to the buyer at that point.
Used for any mode or modes of transport.
GROUP C – MAIN CARRIAGE PAID.
CFR
Cost and Freight
The seller delivers the goods on board the vessel or procures the goods already so delivered. The risk of loss of or damage to the goods passes when the goods are on board the vessel.
The seller must contract for and pay the costs and freight necessary to bring the goods to the named port of destination.
Used for sea and inland waterway transport.
CIF
Cost, Insurance and Freight
The seller delivers the goods on board the vessel or procures the goods already so delivered. The risk of loss of or damage to the goods passes when the goods are on board the vessel. The seller must contract for and pay the costs and freight necessary to bring the goods to the named port of destination.
‘The seller also contracts for insurance cover against the buyer’s risk of loss of or damage to the goods during the carriage. The buyer should note that under CIF the seller is required to obtain insurance only on minimum cover. Should the buyer wish to have more insurance protection, it will need either to agree as much expressly with the seller or to make its own extra insurance arrangements.”
Used for sea and inland waterway transport.
CPT
Carriage Paid To (named place of destination)
Means that the seller delivers the goods to the carrier or another person nominated by the seller at an agreed place (if any such place is agreed between parties) and that the seller must contract for and pay the costs of carriage necessary to bring the goods to the named place of destination.
CIP
Carriage and Insurance Paid (To)
The seller delivers the goods to the carrier or another person nominated by the seller at an agreed place (if any such place is agreed between parties) and that the seller must contract for and pay the costs of carriage necessary to bring the goods to the named place of destination.
Used for any mode or modes of transprot.
GROUP D – ARRIVAL.
DAT
Delivered At Terminal
The seller delivers when the goods, once unloaded from the arriving means of transport, are placed at the disposal of the buyer at a named terminal at the named port or place of destination. “Terminal” includes a place, whether covered or not, such as a quay, warehouse, container yard or road, rail or air cargo terminal. The seller bears all risks involved in bringing the goods to and unloading them at the terminal at the named port or place of destination.
The terminal concept is very broad and includes land and sea terminals, ports, airports, free zones, etc.) so it is important that the place of delivery of the goods is clearly specified and this place matches that specified in the contract of carriage.
The Incoterm DAT is frequently used in international trade in bulk because the delivery point coincides with the bulk terminals of the ports.
DAP
Delivered At Place
The Incoterm DAP is used for all types of transport. It is one of two new Incoterms 2010 with DAT. Replaces Incoterms DAF, DES and DDU.
The seller delivers when the goods are placed at the disposal of the buyer on the arriving means of transport ready for unloading at the named place of destination. The seller bears all risks involved in bringing the goods to the named place.
DDP
Delivered Duty Paid
The seller delivers the goods when the goods are placed at the disposal of the buyer, cleared for import on the arriving means of transport ready for unloading at the named place of destination. The seller bears all the costs and risks involved in bringing the goods to the place of destination and has an obligation to clear the goods not only for export but also for import, to pay any duty for both export and import and to carry out all customs formalities.
