Incoterms define responsibilities for delivery, transportation costs, risk, customs procedures, and related tasks. They do not determine price, payment terms, or transfer of legal ownership.
Incoterms 2020 contains 11 rules: seven for any mode of transport and four specifically for sea or inland waterway transport.
Under FCA, the seller completes export clearance and delivers the goods to the carrier or another party nominated by the buyer at the specified place.
DPU, Delivered at Place Unloaded, is the only Incoterms 2020 rule under which the seller must deliver and unload the goods at the named destination.
Under DDP, the seller has the maximum obligation, including export and import clearance and payment of applicable import duties and taxes, subject to the contract and local law.
Under FOB, risk transfers when the goods are placed on board the vessel nominated by the buyer at the named port of shipment.
FCA is generally more suitable for containerized cargo because delivery can occur when the container is handed to the carrier at a terminal, before vessel loading.
Under CFR, the seller contracts and pays for carriage to the destination port. However, risk transfers earlier, once the goods are on board the vessel at the shipment port.
CIF requires the seller to obtain insurance based on Institute Cargo Clauses (C) or similar minimum cover, unless the parties agree to broader protection.
CIP normally requires broad insurance corresponding to Institute Cargo Clauses (A). This differs from CIF, which defaults to the more limited Clauses (C) standard.
Under CPT, risk normally transfers when the seller hands the goods to the first carrier, even though the seller pays carriage to the named destination.
Under DAP, delivery occurs when the goods are placed at the buyer's disposal on the arriving means of transport, ready for unloading. The buyer handles unloading.
Under FAS, the seller delivers when the goods are placed alongside the vessel at the named port of shipment. The buyer then arranges loading and main carriage.
Under EXW, the buyer normally handles export clearance. Because this may be difficult for a foreign buyer, FCA is often more practical when the seller can complete export formalities.
Incoterms address delivery, risk, costs, carriage, and certain customs obligations. Transfer of legal ownership must be established separately in the sales contract and applicable law.
Incoterms 2020 allows the parties under FCA to agree that the buyer will instruct its carrier to issue an on-board bill of lading to the seller after loading.
A precise named location reduces disputes because it identifies where delivery occurs or how far the seller must pay carriage. The contract should also identify the rule and version, such as Incoterms 2020.
