In international trade, agreeing on the product and price is only part of the deal. Understanding who bears the costs, who manages transportation, where the risk transfers, and who handles customs formalities is equally important.

That’s where 𝗜𝗻𝗰𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗺𝘀®come in.

Published by the International Chamber of Commerce, Incoterms® rules help buyers and sellers define their respective responsibilities in international and domestic trade.

📦 𝗞𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝟭𝟭 𝗜𝗻𝗰𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗺𝘀® 𝗥𝘂𝗹𝗲𝘀:
🔹 𝗘𝗫𝗪 — Ex Works
🔹𝗙𝗖𝗔 — Free Carrier
🔹𝗙𝗔𝗦 — Free Alongside Ship
🔹𝗙𝗢𝗕 — Free On Board
🔹𝗖𝗙𝗥 — Cost and Freight
🔹𝗖𝗜𝗙 — Cost, Insurance and Freight
🔹𝗖𝗣𝗧 — Carriage Paid To
🔹𝗖𝗜𝗣 — Carriage and Insurance Paid To
🔹𝗗𝗔𝗣 — Delivered at Place
🔹𝗗𝗣𝗨 — Delivered at Place Unloaded
🔹𝗗𝗗𝗣 — Delivered Duty Paid

Each rule defines a different allocation of responsibilities, costs and risks. 𝗖𝗵𝗼𝗼𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗜𝗻𝗰𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗺® 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀, 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗵 𝗰𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗿 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀.

For food exporters, importers and distributors, these discussions are particularly important. Freight costs, insurance, customs clearance, destination charges and delivery obligations can significantly influence the commercial viability of an order.

At UDDARA EXIM LLP, we believe successful international partnerships are built on more than products. They require clear communication, well-defined commercial terms and a shared understanding of responsibilities.
