Description

Incoterms®2020 rules are a set of three letter acronyms which define the risks and responsibilities of buyers and sellers in international trade contracts and should be a key part of trade negotiations. But who is responsible for agreeing these terms and how well do they really understand them?
The correct use of Incoterms®2020 rules is essential for the successful movement of goods between customers and suppliers around the globe. Getting them wrong can lead to delays, penalties, problems with payment and unhappy customers. Furthermore, your company may incur additional charges which erode profit margins.
Revised every ten years, the latest edition is Incoterms ®2020. The rules are designed to keep pace with changes in international trade and the new definitions and revisions are designed to give greater clarity and precision to the terms. Which version of rules are you using – do you know the difference?
The UK’s separation from the EU in 2021 really put the spotlight on the significance of incoterms rules. Movements between the UK and the EU became exports and imports, requiring customs clearance and emphasising the legal obligations of the buyer and seller. Do you understand why use of the correct incoterms rules is so important and how these impact on your purchasing/sales contracts?

This is the course for people who want a detailed and focused commercial view of the Incoterms® 2020 standards. Attendees will also receive a copy of ICC Incoterms® 2020 Book.

A great insight to Incoterms® 2020 with an overview of each incoterm in more detail.
This was a course that I felt that each business would benefit from.
