Incoterms 2020

Incoterms 2020 are international trade rules created by the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC). They define the responsibilities of buyers and sellers in global shipping.

These rules explain:

• Who pays for transport costs
• When risk transfers from seller to buyer
• Who handles export and import clearance
• Where delivery is considered complete

Incoterms 2020 include 11 terms such as EXW, FOB, CIF, DDP, and DAP. Each term sets clear rules for cost, risk, and delivery points in international trade.

The main benefit of Incoterms 2020 is that they reduce confusion and prevent disputes between trading partners. They make global shipping more clear, safe, and efficient.

In short, Incoterms 2020 are essential for anyone involved in import and export business.
