2 Incoterms 2010 International Commercial Terms The Incoterms rules explain a set of three letter trade terms reflecting business to business practice in contracts for the sale of goods. The Incoterms rules describe mainly the tasks, costs and risks involved in the delivery of goods from sellers to buyers. Incoterms rules have traditionally been used in international sale of contracts where goods pass across national borders. In various areas of the world, however, trade blocs, like the European Union (EU), have made border formalities between different countries less significant. Consequently, the subtitle of the Incoterms 2010 rules formally recognised that they are available for application to both international and domestic sale of contracts. As a result, the Incoterms 2010 rules clearly state in a number of places, that the obligation to comply with export/import formalities exists only where applicable. The eighth published set of pre-defined terms, Incoterms 2010 covers 11 rules, reducing the 13 used in Incoterms 2000 by introducing two new rules ( Delivered at Terminal, DAT; Delivered at Place, DAP) that replace four rules of the previous version ( Delivered at Frontier, DAF; Delivered Ex Ship, DES; Delivered Ex Quay, DEQ; Delivered Duty Unpaid, DDU). In the previous version, the rules were divided into four categories: (1) Group E term, (2) Group F terms, (3) Group C terms and (4) Group D terms, with increasing responsibilities, costs and risks for the seller and decreasing responsibilities, costs and risks for the buyer. However, the 11 pre-defined terms of Incoterms 2010 are subdivided into two categories based only on method of delivery. The larger group of seven rules applies regardless of the method of transport, with the smaller group of four being applicable only to sales that solely involve transportation over water. The 11 Incoterms 2010 rules are presented in two distinct classes. The first class included the seven Incoterms 2010 rules that can be used irrespective of the mode of transport selected and irrespective of whether one or more than one mode of transport is employed. EXW, FCA, CPT, CIP, DAT and DDP belong to this class. They can be used even when there is no maritime transport at all. It is important to remember, however, that these rules can be used in cased where a ship is used for part of the carriage. In the second class, the point of delivery and the place to which the goods are carried to the buyer are both ports, hence the label sea and inland waterway rules. FAS, FOB, CFR and CIF belong to this class. Under the last three Incoterms rules, all mention of the ship s rail as the point of delivery has been omitted in preference for the goods being delivered when they are on board the vessel. This more closely reflects modern commercial reality and avoids the rather dated image of the risk swinging to and fro across an imaginary perpendicular line. 2 / 14

7 COST AND FREIGHT CFR (insert named port of destination) Incoterms 2010 : The seller clears the goods for export and delivers them when they are on board the vessel at the port of shipment. Seller bears the cost of freight to the named port of destination. Buyer assumes all risks for goods from the time goods have been delivered on board the vessel at the port of shipment. CIF( 운임 보험료지급인도 ) COST, INSURANCE AND FREIGHT CIF (insert named port of destination) Incoterms 2010 : The seller clears the goods for export and delivers them when they are on board the vessel at the port of shipment. Seller bears the cost of freight and insurance to the named port of destination. Seller s insurance requirement is only for minimum cover. Buyer is responsible for all costs associated with unloading the goods at the named port of destination and clearing goods for import. Risk passes from seller to buyer once the goods are on board the vessel at the port of shipment. (iii) FCA/CPT/CIP vs. the Traditional FOB/CFR/CIF Similarities All of these are symbolic delivery and the corresponding sales/purchase contracts are shipment contracts. The seller is responsible for export clearance, and the buyer is responsible for import clearance. FCA is somewhat like FOB, CPT like CFR, and CIP like CIP. Differences Modes of transportation: FCA/CPT/CIP are applicable to all modes of transport, including rail, road, air, sea, inland waterway and multimodal transport. FOB/CFR/CIF can be used only for sea or inland waterway transport. Different point of risk dividing: in FCA/CPT/CIP, the risks are divided when the goods are delivered to the carrier, while the traditional ones are on board the vessel. Charges for loading and unloading the goods: for FCA/CPT/CIP, the carrier is responsible for loading and unloading; therefore no derived terms are used. 7 / 14

9 Expressions and Choice of Trade Terms Trade terms are also referred to as price terms or delivery terms. Trade terms are a set of uniform rules codifying the interpretation of trade terms defining the price composition and the rights and obligations of the buyer and the seller in global business transactions (GBT) or international transactions. Different expressions or choice of trade terms can lead to different meanings; as a result, we should pay more attention to the expression and choice of trade terms. (i) Expressions of Trade Terms: Trade terms are expressed in the unit price for goods. In an international sales contract, the unit price usually contains unit, amount and a trade term which is followed by a name port or place of shipment or destination. (ii) Choice of Trade Terms: Different trade terms mean different obligations to the buyer and the seller. At present, symbolic delivery trade terms are widely used. Korean trade enterprises are traditionally inclined to arrange shipment and effect insurance by themselves. The purpose is to develop both Korean ocean transport industry and insurance industry. Therefore, they often adopt FOB or FCA in their import deals and try to adopt CIF or CIP n their export deals. Sometimes they also adopt CFR or CPT in the circumstances when the other party s countries require insurance to be effected by their own insurance companies. The following factors should be taken into consideration when choosing trade terms. Adopting to the Modes for Transportation: Since FOB/CFR/CIF are used for sea or inland waterway transport, it is necessary to adopt FCA/CPT/CIP when the cargos are transported by rail or air. Even by ocean transport, when containers are used, it is better to adopt FCA/CPT/CIP because the seller will lose the control of the goods when the cargos are delivered to the carrier. Avoiding Risks: When importing bulk cargoes by charter, basically, FOB should be adopted. In this case, we (the buyer) shall charter the ship or book shipping space and effect insurance, thus avoiding the risks of going up of the seller and the carrier. They may take advantage of the charter B/L to deceive the buyer into making payments. 9 / 14

The supply chain ensures the goods are ordered, shipped and paid for while complying with regulatory requirements and supporting trade security. The BSP model identifies the key commercial, logistical, regulatory and payment procedures, involved in the global supply chain and provides an overview of the information exchanged between the parties throughout its various phases. Q2. The BSP model identifies four main business partner types: customer, supplier, intermediary and authority. These types are paired with possible actors and their roles as below.

14 Q4. Translate the paragraph below into Korean. Trade terms, also known as price terms or delivery terms, are a set of uniform rules codifying the interpretation of trade terms defining the price composition and the rights and obligations of the buyer and the seller in global business transactions. Trade terms are standardised terms used in sales contracts that describes the place and means of transfer of goods from the seller and the buyer. These terms, such as free on board (FOB) and cost, insurance, and the price, identify the time when the risk of loss shifts from the seller to the buyer, and the costs of freight and insurance. The use of trade terms greatly simplifies the process of negotiation of contract, thus saving time and cost for business transactions. Q5. Which one of the 11 Incoterms 2010 rules below can ONLY be used for Sea and Inland Waterway Transport? 1 FCA (Free Carrier) 2 CIP (Carriage, and Insurance Paid to) 3 DAT (Delivered at Place) 4 CFR (Cost and Freight) Q6.
