What does Incoterms mean? In legal practice, Incoterms are standard three‑letter trade terms published by the International Chamber of Commerce that allocate delivery obligations, transfer of risk, carriage, insurance and customs formalities in sale of goods contracts. They are not legislation and have no effect unless expressly incorporated; when incorporated (for example, “FCA London Incoterms 2020”), they form part of the contract and are interpreted by reference to the ICC rules.

It operates to stay proceedings on terms that have been agreed. The provisions contained in the schedule may remain confidential. This Practice Note describes the scope of confidentiality attaching to the schedule and sets out how it differs from a standard consent order. Sample wording for a Tomlin order is included, alongside links to precedents, as well as guidance on court approval. It also addresses varying, setting aside and enforcing a Tomlin order, including the considerations the court will take into account when handling applications for each.
