In international trade, people buy and sell goods and then send them from one country to another. It can be a very risky business. If the goods are lost or damaged or if delivery does not take place as scheduled for some other reasons, the climate of confidence between the parties may deteriorate to the point where a lawsuit I launched. Nevertheless, the seller and the buyer in international transactions want their deal to be successfully completed.
Frequently, the parties to international transaction are not aware of the different trading practice in their counterpart’s country. This can give rise to misunderstanding, disputes and even litigation, causing waste of time and money. In order to avoid these problems and reduce to the minimum the uncertainties of different interpretations of the trade terms, the International Chamber of Commerce prepared and published in1936 a set of international rules, that is, International Rules for the Incoterms of Trade Terms(Incotems for short), and the interpretation of the most commonly unused trade terms.
Since 1936, the Incoterms have been revised several times to take account of changes in transportation techniques and to render them fully compatible with the new developments in electronic data interchange. Amendments and additions were made in 1953, 1967, 1976, 1980 and 1990 in order to bring the rules in line with current international trade practices.
Now the Incoterms are presented in a new format with allows both the seller and the buyer to follow a step-by-step process to determine their respective rights andobligations and the new layout makes Incoterms 1990 easier to use. If when preparing their contract, both the seller and the buyer specifically refer to one of the Incoterms, they can be sure of defining their respective responsibilities simply and safely. In doing so, they can eliminate any possibility of misunderstanding and subsequent disputes.
The Incoterms having been amended several times, have become a very useful guideline in international trade and thus fostered greatly in expansion.
