02

Freight Control

Whether the buyer or seller should appoint and manage the main carrier.

03

Export Clearance

Which party has the capability and authority to complete export formalities.

04

Import Clearance

Which party can manage import declarations, duties and local regulatory requirements.

05

Cost Allocation

Where freight, insurance, terminal, delivery and customs-related costs should sit.

06

Risk Transfer

The point at which loss or damage risk passes from seller to buyer.

Important Notice

Incoterms Advisor provides general commercial guidance based on the information entered by the user.

The recommendation does not replace the underlying sales contract, legal advice, insurance review, customs assessment or confirmation of operational feasibility.

The chosen Incoterm should be stated together with the named place, port or terminal and the applicable Incoterms® edition.

The parties remain responsible for ensuring that the agreed term accurately reflects the intended cost allocation, customs responsibilities, delivery obligations and risk-transfer point.

Trade Compliance Review

Request a deeper review where product classification, permits or customs exposure requires professional assessment.

BEFORE THE TERM ENTERS THE CONTRACT

A Three-Letter Term Can Shift A Very Large Commercial Risk.

Where the transaction value, customer expectation, customs responsibility or delivery exposure is significant, confirm the full commercial and operational implications before agreement.
