Incoterms® Rules 2020

The Incoterms® Rules are an essential business tool for export import because they define the responsibilities of each party to arrange loading/unloading of the goods, delivery, import export clearance and freight contracts. They may be used in contract negotiations, as a checklist for buyers and sellers and as a framework for international and domestic sales contracts.

Programme content

Since the last revision in 2010, there have been fundamental changes in global import export practice and procedures. Cargo security considerations, revised insurance clauses and the continuing evolution of transport infrastructure have modified the supply chain obligations of each party and the necessity of providing specific information at the appropriate time.

The New Incoterms Rules, due to be published in September 2020, have been developed to take account of these changes.

All parties involved in export import in any capacity should clearly understand The New Incoterms Rules to maximise legal certainty in transactions. This half day seminar will consider the general features of the rules and will examine each of them in detail. Principal differences between old and new rules and changing obligations of the parties will be highlighted.
