Summary
Summarize the important points of Part 1 and continue process
with the progress check .
The international business forum is a fertile place for contractual misunderstandings
and an expensive place to resolve them through litigation. Recognizing a compelling need for
universal terminology to try to overcome these misunderstandings in international trade
contracts, the International Chamber of Commerce, among others, has developed a standard
set of terms and abbreviations called Incoterms.
The rights and obligations of each party to a contract should be more clearly understood
if the contract is expressed in Incoterms.
An international trade contract should:
���� Describe the goods to be sold and the manner of shipment
���� Set forth who is responsible if the goods are damaged or destroyed at any phase of
delivery
���� Express who is responsible for paying the expenses for clearing the goods at
customs
���� Express who is responsible for providing insurance while the goods are in transit
���� Express who is responsible for freight charges
���� Express who is responsible for loading and unloading costs
���� Express who is to pay for any inspections
���� Name the place where any litigation or arbitration will take place if a dispute arises
under the contract
���� Name the law that will apply to disputes that arise under the contract
