Incoterms 2000

Incoterms define the responsibilities of buyer and seller for delivery of goods under sales contracts. Incoterms 2000 is the authoritative text for determining how costs and risks are allocated to the parties in a transaction.  Incoterms aren't automatic; they are subject to negotiation, and the successful buyer or seller is often the one who is best at negotiating the terms of sale.  These terms are regularly incorporated into sales contracts worldwide and have become part of the daily language of trade.

Incoterms 2000 sets forth the thirteen terms of sale in a format easily readable and understood.  The “mirror image” approach permits the reader to quickly compare its responsibilities, risks, and division of costs to that of the other party to the transaction.  If you are negotiating, advising on, or implementing a sales contract you must understand the implications of the term of sale selected. Not realizing what a negotiated term required could increase costs and reduce profits to the seller because those costs were not considered when the final quotation was presented to the buyer.
