Delivery and Incoterms: allocate costs and risk

Delivery and Incoterms: allocate costs and risk
AI-generated editorial image: a fictional scene, not documentation of real people, places or transactions. Open full-size image ↗

The issue

A delivery abbreviation cannot settle an entire contract. Incoterms® allocate tasks, costs and risk; they do not alone determine payment or ownership.

What to prepare

Specify the rule, exact place and agreed edition. Check transport, insurance and customs duties; address price, title and remedies separately. Incoterms® belongs to the International Chamber of Commerce, distinct from the Italian chamber in the invitation.
