Incoterms (International Commercial Terms) are the essential international trade rules that define the responsibilities of buyers and sellers in global transactions.

Incoterms provide an internationally recognised framework for shipping and delivery, outlining responsibility between the shipper (usually the supplier/consignor) and the Consignee (usually the buyer). By understanding these terms, each party is aware of the risks, costs, and liabilities associated with the shipment at each stage of the shipping process. The latest version of Incoterms came into effect in 2020 and is outlined in our easy-to-follow guide.
