“As with other standards, the Incoterms® rules have become so deeply embedded into the international trade system that we often take them for granted. In fact, for many, the Incoterms® rules represent more than just rules and regulations, they are the language of trade. Without the Incoterms® rules, there would be further confusion between buyers and sellers at points of entry, as well as greater unpredictability surrounding the transport, collection and maintenance of goods.

Each day, millions of employees around the world use the Incoterms® rules to do their jobs. While the Incoterms® rules are essential for importers and exporters, they are just as important for those working in financial services, government and academia too. Whether you own a small business in Africa or work for a shipping company in Europe, the Incoterms® rules can influence your position and corresponding responsibilities.” – ICC
