What are incoterms?

Incoterms are internationally recognized trade clauses that facilitate the trade in goods with the help of standardized contract formulas. They regulate the distribution of costs and obligations and thus prevent misunderstandings and disputes. They must always be agreed by both contracting parties and confirmed by signing the contract.

Overview of the incoterms
