There is a lot to consider when transporting goods internationally. One of the most important things is to make clear agreements with foreign customers and suppliers. Therefore, Incoterms® have been created to ensure that everyone knows what obligations they have and to limit any form of ambiguity as much as possible. Incoterms® stands for “International Commercial Terms”, or international delivery terms.
