INCOTERMS 2000

INTRODUCTION

1. Purpose and scope of Incoterms

The purpose of Incoterms is to provide a set of international rules for the interpretation of the most commonly used trade terms in foreign trade. Thus, the uncertainties of different interpretations of such terms in different countries can be avoided or at least reduced to a considerable degree.

Frequently, parties to a contract are unaware of the different trading practices in their respective countries. This can give rise to misunderstandings, disputes and litigation, with all the waste of time and money that this entails. In order to remedy these problems, the international Chamber of Commerce first published in 1936 a set of international rules for the interpretation of trade terms. These rules were known as `Incoterms 1936`.
