INCOTERMS 2020

International trading terms defining buyers and sellers responsibilities, for commercial Imports and Exports

Incoterms are universally recognised rules that guide buyers and sellers when formulating and fulfilling a contract for the shipment of goods. The latest version came into effect on 1st of January 2020 and consists of eleven separate Incoterms. Incoterms 2020 formally defines delivery as the point in the transaction where ‘the risk' of loss or damage to the goods passes from the seller to the buyer.

Important Note: Whilst Incoterms aid in reducing the risks associated with the delivery of goods between the seller and the buyer, they only form part of the whole export contract. The price, method of payment, transfer of ownership, breach of contract and product liability are all issues that need to be addressed in the contract of sale. It is very important to note that Incoterms cannot override any mandatory laws.
