Background: Incoterms• The International Chamber of Commerce ("ICC") created “INCOTERMS” in 1936 to uniform
global trade. The ICC periodically revises publications of INCOTERMS. The latest version was released in January 2011.
• Set of uniform terms applicable to all the various types of purchase agreements and shipping agreements, which also serve as a “global language”.
• Defines the responsibility of the Buyer and the Seller - conveys “risk” and “responsibility”; which party is to pay which charges, and where delivery takes place.
