What are Incoterms and what is their origin? Incoterms—short for ‘International Commercial Terms’—are a set of globally recognised trading terms used in international, and at times domestic, contracts for buying and selling goods. They comprise 11 three‑letter abbreviations, each standing for a distinct package of provisions that apportion duties, costs and risks within a sale and purchase agreement. The International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) publishes rules that interpret Incoterms and explain the meaning of each term. First issued in 1936, these rules are updated from time to time to mirror developments in trading practices. In September 2019, the ICC released the most recent edition, Incoterms 2020, effective from 1 January 2020 (although parties could opt to apply the 2020 rules earlier if they wished). For the complete text of the 2020 rules, see the following Practice Notes: Incoterms® 2020—introduction Incoterms® 2020 Rules—EXW Ex works Incoterms® 2020 Rules—FCA Free Carrier Incoterms® 2020 Rules—CPT Carriage paid to Incoterms® 2020 Rules—CIP Carriage and insurance paid...
