What are Incoterms rules?


Incoterms (INternational COmmerce TERMS) rules are a total of eleven terms published by the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) based in Paris, which define the conditions of supply of goods in international sales transactions. The first edition was published in 1936 and subsequently have been making continuous revisions and updates (usually every ten years) to the one currently in force (Incoterms 2010). The Incoterms 2010 rules are contained in Publication No. 715 of the International Chamber of Commerce in bilingual English-French edition. A copy of this publication can be acquired, in both hard copy and e-book format, on the website www. iccbooks.com. The writing of Incoterms rules is carried out by a group of experts belonging to different professions and activities, but most of them come from the legal field. The description of each Incoterm includes a guidance note which provide guidelines for better use. The following sets out the obligations of each of the parties (seller and buyer) in ten sections that include, among others: delivery, transport and insurance contracts, transfer of risks, allocation of logistics costs, inspection of goods, notices, etc. Incoterms are private law rules and are not supported by the laws of any country or by a supranational organization. They are rules set by businesses (exporters and importers) within the International Chamber of Commerce in order to regulate some aspects of foreign trade operations. Incoterms do not have the force of law and therefore is not obliged to use them in international trade operations; their use will be conditioned on the acceptance of the parties (seller and buyer) in the sale contract. The strength of the Incoterms is that are widely known and used by different actors in foreign trade (exporters, importers, carriers, freight forwarders, customs brokers, banks and insurance companies, etc.). That is very useful for sellers and buyers to agree on terms of delivery of the goods and that the agreement conforms to rules that are universally known. Incoterms can be classified according to three criteria that all have to do with transport: mode of transport used, payment for the main (international) transport and transfer of risks in transport. In the classification of Incoterms 2010, the prevailing approach is the mode of transport used.

WHAT ARE INCOTERMS RULES?

Classification of Incoterms 2010


Mode of transport used (Incoterms for any mode of transport and sea Incoterms)

The first criterion is the mode of transport used. In the version of Incoterms 2010, there are seven Incoterms that can be used with any mode of transport (surface, air or sea) or multiple modes (multimodal). On the contrary, there are four Incoterms that can only be used with sea transport and inland waterways (canals, rivers, lakes). Incoterms for any mode of transport and multimodal transport: EXW, FCA, CPT, CIP, DAT, DAP and DDP. Incoterms, uniquely for sea and inland waterways transport: FAS, FOB, CFR and CIF.

Payment for the main transport (seller or buyer)

The second criterion of classification is the payment of main transport which is the international transport between the country of origin and the country of destination. The Incoterms distinguish between those terms in which the main transport payment is made by the buyer (importer) and those where it is made by the seller (exporter). Incoterms in which the main transport is paid by the buyer (importer): EXW, FCA, FAS and FOB. Incoterms in which the main transport is paid by the seller (exporter): CPT, CFR, CIP, CIF, DAT, DAP and DDP.

Transfer of risks in transporting the goods (at origin or destination)

Finally, we should distinguish between those Incoterms in which the obligation to deliver the goods by the seller and, therefore, the transfer of risks in transport occurs in the country of origin, while in others Incoterms the obligation of delivery occurs in the country of destination. Incoterms with transfer of risks in the country of origin: EXW, FCA, FAS, FOB, CPT, CFR, CIP and CIP. Incoterms with transfer of risks in the country of destination: DAT, DAP and DDP.

In the case of Incoterms in C (CPT, CFR, CIP and CIF) should be noted that, although the seller will be paying international transport to the country of destination,

WHAT ARE INCOTERMS RULES?

the risks of transport are transferred in the country of origin when the goods are loaded on the means of transport. Hence in the Incoterms CIF and CIP, which incorporate a compulsory insurance transport, it is the seller who hires and pays the insurance, although, the beneficiary of insurance is the buyer who bears the risks of transport.

Main changes in Incoterms 2010 The Incoterms 2010 have made some significant changes in relation to the previous version of Incoterms 2000. These changes include both the elimination and creation of new terms, modification of certain uses in the existing terms and adapting the rules to the operational logistics, Internet communications and security procedures that have been implemented at the borders of countries.

10

WHAT ARE INCOTERMS RULES?

Below, we offer a brief description of the major changes. The effects of such changes on foreign trade operations are discussed in detail in the sections devoted to each Incoterm.
Reduction from 13 to 11 terms

In relation to the Incoterms 2000, the 2010 version eliminated four terms: DES (Delivered Ex Ship), DEQ (Delivered Ex Quay), DAF (Delivered At Frontier) and DDU (Delivered Duty Unpaid). These Incoterms had little use: in the case of DES and DEQ for certain sales of bulk goods that are delivered to the ports of destination; DAF in deliveries at frontiers with some difficulty, where is better that the buyer takes over of import procedures; and in the case of DDU what has actually occurred is a renaming, because the new DAP Incoterm establishes obligations very similar to DDU. However, it should be noted that the four Incoterms that have been eliminated can still be used by exporters and importers since the Incoterms 2010 rules do not repeal Incoterms 2000 rules. Moreover, if a company prefer to use Incoterms 2000, they should refer to this version in the sale contract, mentioning the expression Incoterms 2000 after the place of delivery (e.g. DAF USA/Mexico border at Laredo, Texas, USA, Incoterms 2000).
New terms in Incoterms 2010 DAT replaces DES, DEQ y DAF DAP replaces DDU

Incoterms 2010 created two new Incoterms: DAT (Delivered At Terminal) and DAP (Delivered At Place). The first replaces the three Incoterms DES, DEQ, and DAF, when the merchandise is delivered to the destination country in a terminal or transportation infrastructure (port, airport). DAP has a function very similar to DDU, as noted above.
Priority for Incoterms used with any mode of transport in comparison with sea Incoterms

The new classification of Incoterms 2010 do not take into account the main criterion of the distribution of costs between seller and buyer, but the mode of transport used: Incoterms for any mode of transport against sea Incoterms. The Incoterms 2010 rules give priority to the Incoterms for any mode of transport because they fit better with the reality of international logistics.
Goods in containers only for Incoterms for any mode of transport but not for sea Incoterms.

This is perhaps the most significant change in Incoterms 2010. If the goods are loaded into a container, the Incoterms 2010 clearly state that sea terms should not be used,

11

WHAT ARE INCOTERMS RULES?

even if the delivery takes place in a port. The reason is that containers are delivered to the port terminals, before being placed on board of the ships. When the goods are transport in containers should not be used FOB, CFR or CIF, but their equivalents for multimodal transport, which are respectively FCA, CPT and CIP. This is a big change from the uses and habits that came into force until now. We must remember that the FOB and CIF Incoterms are the oldest and most widely used in foreign trade since a large proportion of goods are transported by ship and it is also common that deliveries be made in ports. Therefore, it is expected that the adaptation of exporters, importers, carriers, freight forwarders, etc., to their modification of Incoterms 2010 will be slow, and for a time will be common to use FOB, CFR or CIF even when goods travel in containers. In the event that the seller or buyer use sea Incoterms with container transport it is advisable to ask about switching to any mode of transport Incoterm (such as FCA, CPT or CIP) to match what is the right used according to Incoterms 2010 rules.
Transfer of risks on board in Incoterms FOB, CFR and CIF

In Incoterms 2010, when using the sea terms FOB, CFR and CIF, the transfer of risks occurs when the goods are placed on board in the port of shipment. However, in Incoterms 2000, the risk passes when the goods pass the ships rail. While the version of Incoterms 2010 is not so clear, it is understood that on board includes only the load (up the goods to the ship). The other two operations required to place goods in a ship: stowage (place the goods in the ships hold or deck) and lashing (tying to impede the goods from moving during the journey) are on the account of the buyer. Although Incoterms 2010 do not mention it explicitly, it could be interpreted that risks of loading is bear by the seller while the risks of stowage and lashing are bear by the buyer.
Delivery by procuring the goods so delivered for sales that occur during shipping

In the foreign trade of certain products (bulk, commodities, fuel) sometimes the sale of goods take place during the journey of the ship, from the shipment port to the destination port, once the goods have been shipped. To cover these situations, Incoterms 2010, only in sea Incoterms FOB, CFR and CIF state that the delivery can be made on board or by procuring the goods so delivered, i.e. once it has been shipped. For example, in a sale contract which has established itself as the place of delivery CIF port Lagos, Nigeria - Incoterms 2010, the buyer can sell the goods to a third party during the journey between the port of shipment and the port of destination. Although the buyer has not shipped the merchandise, it fulfills the obligation to deliver by procuring the goods so delivered to the new buyer.

12

WHAT ARE INCOTERMS RULES?

Allocation of terminal costs

When using Incoterms in which the seller pays the main transport such as CPT, CFR, CIP or CIF, the seller includes in the purchase price the cost of transport to destination including the costs of terminal what is known as THC (Terminal Handling Charges). However, it happens that most of the transport companies carry the cost of terminal, in particular the discharge of goods on the buyer and, therefore, they pay twice for the same service. To avoid this duplication, Incoterms 2010 establish that the terminal costs should be allocated according to the stipulations of the transport contract. They also state that if the seller bears the costs of discharge at destination port, according to the stipulations in the transport contract, they shall not be entitled to demand the buyer the return of the costs unless otherwise agreed.
Transport insurance coverage in CIP and CIF

In Incoterms CIP and CIF in which the seller is obliged to contract a transport insurance of goods from the place of delivery to destination, the Incoterms 2010 refer to the latest version of the coverage Insurance of Institute Cargo Clause in London. These covers are the result of the agreement IUA / LMA (Underwriting International Association of London and Lloyds Market Association) which came into force in January 2009. There are three types of coverage: Clause C (minimum), Clause B and Clause A besides, Clauses of War and Strike can be added within the Clauses. According to Incoterms 2010, in Incoterms CIP and CIF, the seller is required to hire only minimal coverage (Clause C). If the buyer wanted a larger coverage, he shall require the seller to contract it, but its cost will be borne by the buyer. In the rest of the Incoterms, neither party is obliged to take out transport insurance, but are required to provide to the other party the necessary information for obtaining the insurance.
Security-related information

Since the attacks of September 11, 2001 various measures to ensure the safe transport of passengers and goods were put in place. Following these practices, Incoterms 2010 version establishes the obligation of the seller to assist the buyer to obtain all information concerning the safety of the goods or their transportation to their final destination. However, Incoterms 2010 states that any costs resulting from obtaining such information will be borne by the buyer.
Validity of electronic messages and documents

Incoterms 2010 granted the same validity to the messages and documents transmitted electronically to those that are supported on paper, if it is agreed by the parties or is a common practice. The use of electronic means facilitate the obligation to notify the parties with different information (place of delivery or receipt, date, name of carrier, etc.) and the transmission of documents relating to export and import formalities.

Main changes in Incoterms 2010

International and national use

Although Incoterms are in the peculiarities of foreign trade, the 2010 version refers to its use also for domestic trade. This new approach regarding the scope has two justifications: first, there are areas of economic integration (such as the EU) that have the consideration of domestic market when customs disappeared. On the other hand, the internal regulations in the U.S. terms of trade known as RAFTD (Revised American Foreign Trade Definitions), no longer in force, are expected to be replaced by Incoterms, both in internal operations between U.S. companies and in foreign trade operations between U.S. companies and companies in other countries. Aspects of foreign trade that Incoterms do not regulate Although Incoterms regulate many aspects of foreign trade, there are others on which they do not have influence. Among them: trade in services, ownership of the goods or the payment deadline: Trade in services: Incoterms are only used in international sales of goods (tangible products) and do not apply to trade in services (intangibles) as in this activity there is no physical delivery, or need for logistics and customs clearance; therefore Incoterms rules do not apply. Ownership of the merchandise: the transfer of ownership of goods is governed by the contract of sale and performed normally on payment of the price; therefore, is not affected by Incoterms rules. The text of Incoterms 2010 never

14

WHAT ARE INCOTERMS RULES?

used the expression transfer the ownership of the products when defining the obligations of delivery of the goods by the seller, Incoterms rules use expressions such as deliver the goods or made available to . The Obligations of the buyer section explicitly mentions that the buyer must pay the price established in the sale contract. Deadline for payment: the payment period is also established in the international sale contract and may be paid in advance (before delivery), payment in cash (coinciding with the delivery) or payment on credit (after delivery). In this sense, neither of these three alternative is affected by the Incoterms agreed upon.

In addition to these three aspects, Incoterms do not deal with other issues such as warranties, grounds for termination of the contract or sue for damages that should be resolved through the sale contract and according to the law to which the contract is submitted. Variants of Incoterms The practice of foreign trade has meant that sometimes the exporters and importers add a term or expression to Incoterms in order to clarify the distribution of costs and risks between the parties. It should be noted that the Incoterms 2010, unlike previous versions, do not mention any of these variants. However, it remains appropriate in certain circumstances of international operations to mention three variants that should eventually be used: EXW loaded: the loading and therefore the risks of the goods in the first transport (usually truck) that are paid by the seller. Normally, when using EXW it is the seller who makes the load on the first transport and therefore, this variant corresponds more to reality than the rule EXW in which the costs and risks of loading in the first transport are borne by the buyer. CIF maximum cover: for the benefit of the buyer, the seller contracts insurance coverage of international transportation with Clause A of the Institute Cargo Clauses (ICC), plus a Strike Clause and a War Clause. The cost of this additional coverage is not very significant in relation to the risks they cover, so in some highrisk countries, it is advisable to hire them. DDP VAT unpaid or DDP VAT excluded: the seller bears the costs of import clearance but without accounting for VAT. Incoterms 2010 specifically mentions this possibility because of difficulties in recovering the amount that the seller has to pay in concept of VAT on the value of the goods at the destination country.

In any case, when using some variant of Incoterms rules should be clearly specified in the sale contract how the costs and risks covered by the variant are allocated between buyer and seller.

HOW TO USE EXW

EXW

EXW is the Incoterm that represents the minimum obligations, costs and risks for the seller, as he delivers the goods at his own premises (factory or warehouse) in his country. Not even the seller is responsible for loading the goods onto the first carrier (usually truck) that sends the buyer to pick them up. It is the only Incoterm in which the seller does not clear the goods for export, when such clearance is applicable. On the contrary, with EXW, the seller offers the lowest service of all Incoterms and represents a loss of competitiveness in comparison with other companies that assume part of international logistics. This term is suitable for exporting firms with little international experience and who make groupage operations (boxes, pallets) in which the buyer sends a truck to collect the goods at the sellers premises. When sending full containers, it is better to use FCA, as usually the seller makes the loading of the container on the truck sent by the buyer to the sellers premises. It is not advisable to use EXW regularly because when the seller delivers the goods in its own country, normally it is preferable to use FCA.

29

OBLIGATIONS OF THE SELLER AND THE BUYER

EXW MAIN CHARACTERISTICS


Mode of transport

EXW can be used with any mode of transport (land, sea, air) and specially with multimodal transport (containers).
Place of delivery and reception of goods

Normally when using this Incoterm, the place of delivery of the goods are the sellers premises (factory or warehouse). If the seller has several places in different locations he should specify in which of them will the goods be delivered. If the sales contract has not established a specific place and there are several possible points of delivery, the seller can choose the one that suits him better. The buyer is required to collect the goods at the agreed place and date, if the seller has properly notified him in due time.

EXW

Loading/unloading of goods

The seller delivers the goods to the buyer at the named place of delivery, but without being loaded into the first carrier (usually truck). Therefore, the loading on the first carrier is at the risk of the buyer.
Delivery document

The seller has no obligation to justify the delivery of goods to the buyer with any type of document, as it is the buyer who sends a transport (usually truck) to collect the goods at sellers premises. The delivery document used is a delivery note of the carrier who has been sent by the buyer to the sellers premises or in the case of multimodal transport, a FCR FIATA certificate issued by the forwarder, hired for the buyer, with information that has been previously provided by the seller.
Documents for export/import procedures

The seller has only the obligation to provide the buyer with the commercial documents accompanying the goods (invoice and packing list). However, the seller should help the buyer to obtain other documents necessary for the export operation such as licenses, permits, certificates, etc.; the cost of obtaining these documents is borne by the buyer. Furthermore, the seller must provide the buyer with any information and help in obtaining any documents necessary to complete the formalities for import into the

30

OBLIGATIONS OF THE SELLER AND THE BUYER

country of destination and also those documents relating to security in the transport of the goods from the delivery place to the final destination. The buyer must pay the seller for expenses made to obtain such information and documents. Transport documents (carriage of goods by road CMR, bill of lading B/L, air waybill AWB, railway bill of lading CIM and FIATA bill of lading FBL) shall be obtained by the buyer. If the parties agree or if it was normal practice, the seller can provide the documents to the buyer using electronic procedures.
Transport contract

Neither party has the obligation to the other to make a contract of transport. In any case, transportation, either by their own means or by contract, is done by the buyer who is the one that bears the costs and risks of transporting the goods from the place of delivery at the sellers country to the final destination.

EXW

Transfer of risks in transport

The risk in transporting the goods is transferred from seller to buyer at the time of delivery, i.e., before the goods are loaded on the first carrier (usually truck). Therefore, the risk in the operation of loading the goods on the first carrier is assumed by the buyer. To transfer the risk, it is necessary that the goods transported can be identified and individualized as the goods object of the sale contract. Also, the seller must notify the buyer in a reliable way that he has put the goods at his disposal at the place of delivery.
Insurance contract

Neither party has the obligation to make a contract of insurance for transporting the goods. However, it is advisable that the buyer hires insurance transport, at least to cover the international transport of goods. In this sense, the seller must provide the buyer with any information necessary to enable him to hire the insurance he needs.
Inspection of goods in the country of origin

The costs of any mandatory inspection of the goods prior to shipment are paid by the buyer, even when such inspection is required by regulations or institutions in the country of the seller.

31

OBLIGATIONS OF THE SELLER AND THE BUYER

Export and import customs clearance

All procedures, costs and taxes of both, export and import clearance, are borne by the buyer.
Allocation of costs between seller and buyer

The seller assumes only the cost of packaging, checking and marking of goods, according to usual practices in international trade. He also assumes any specific requirements on the packaging that have been included in the sale contract. All other operating and logistics costs are borne by the buyer: Loading of the goods at the first carrier. Inland transportation (pre-carriage) to transport center, port, airport, in sellers country. Costs and taxes of export clearance. Terminal costs (warehousing, handling, loading) in transport center, port, airport, in sellers country. Main transport to the country of destination. Insurance transport (if it is hired). Terminal costs (unloading, handling, warehousing) in transport center, port or airport, in buyers country. Costs and taxes of import clearance. Inland transportation (on-carriage) from the transport center, port, airport, to the buyers premises. Unloading of goods on buyers premises.

EXW

Methods of payment

EXW shall be used with no documentary methods of payment such as payment in advance, cash on delivery, open account or check. Is not suitable for documentary methods (letter of credit or documentary credit) because the seller does not have a transport document (CMR, B/L AWB, FBL) that justify the delivery of the goods at the agreed conditions and therefore be included as documentation of the letter of credit.

32

OBLIGATIONS OF THE SELLER AND THE BUYER

Moreover, if the letter of credit requires a transport document to justify delivery and the buyer does not send a carrier to collect the goods from the sellers premises, the seller will not be able to make effective the credit because he will not have the required delivery document. When using documentary methods of payment (letter of credit or documentary credit) it is better use Incoterms in F or C. PRACTICAL ADVICE TO USE EXW EXW is the first Incoterm out of the eleven and the one that implies fewer obligations to the seller; he only has to deliver the goods at his own premises and the buyer will send a carrier to collect them. EXW allows the seller to give the lowest price quotation and not assume the costs and risks in international operations management. In this sense, the seller may quote prices immediately, without having to make any calculations about the costs of the export operation: it is like a sale in the local market.

EXW

In contrast, EXW means the less service given by the seller and requires the buyer to assume full logistics management. Sellers commercial offers will lose competitiveness in relation to those of other providers that includes international logistics management among the services offered. In EXW, companies with a certain volume of international business, will not get certain discounts and preferential rates in hiring of international transport. These discounts can represent an additional source of income if they are not applied to final prices, or make the offers more competitive when they are translated to a reduced final price. As for loading the goods, in the first mode of transportation (usually truck), it must be taken into account that according to the EXW the loading shall be done by the buyer. However, in most cases, the daily experience shows that it is the seller who assumes the cost and risk of loading because the trucks normally do not have means to upload the goods. When the buyer is unwilling to assume, either the cost or the risk of the load on the first carrier, it is better to use other Incoterms, for example, FCA. EXW is the only Incoterm in which the exporter does not carry out customs formalities for the export of goods. In this sense, the seller does not have any document that serves to justify the export of goods. Thus, for purposes of taxation (VAT) or other regulations, the buyer must ask to the customs broker or forwarding agent of the buyer for a copy of the SAD (Single Administrative Documents, issue n 3) which is the document that demonstrates that the export clearance has been made; the seller can also ask for a transport document (CMR, B/L, SWB, AWB, FBL) as evidence that the goods are exported. If it is an integrated economic area (e.g. the EU) where

33

OBLIGATIONS OF THE SELLER AND THE BUYER

there is free movement of goods and no customs clearance, to justify the exit of goods from the national territory for VAT purposes, it will be sufficient with a transport document or a carriers delivery note signed and sealed by the consignee of the goods in the destination country. EXW is useful for the following types of international operations: First exports of companies that have very short experience and knowledge of international trade. International sales between subsidiaries belonging to the same multinational group in which there is full transparency and confidence in the way of operating. Sales in an integrated economic area (e.g. the EU), where there is free movement of goods without customs clearance. Groupage operations of small volumes where the buyer sends a carrier to the sellers premises to collect and load the goods in the truck (pallets, boxes) with very little costs and risks. Full load operations (full container or truck) in which there is a single transport document for the whole journey, and where it is not necessary to carry out customs clearance since the goods are sent to a zone of countries (e.g. the EU) in which there is a system of free movement of goods. However, in the cases where the goods are loaded by the seller on a truck sent by the buyer, it is preferable to use FCA.
