About Incoterms®:
The ICC International Commercial Terms, known worldwide as Incoterms® rules, are a commonly accepted set of definitions and rules for use in international and domestic contracts for the sale of goods. ICC concluded that there was a need for the creation of a common protocol for importers and exporters everywhere. The first set of Incoterms® rules was published by ICC in 1936. Since then, ICC has periodically revised the terms and definitions to reflect changes in the international trade system.
For the past decade, Incoterms® 2010 has provided critical guidance to importers, exporters, lawyers, transporters and insurers across the world.
