什么是《国际贸易术语解释通则》?——《国际贸易术语解释通则》是一套由三个字母组成的标准贸易术语,最常用于国际货物销售合同。《国际贸易术语解释通则》于1936年首次发布,为最常见的商业术语提供了国际公认的定义和解释规则。在美国,《国际贸易术语解释通则》越来越多地用于国内销售合同,而不是统一商会(UCC)的装运和交货条款。
国际贸易术语解释通则的作用——国际贸易术语解释通则通过定义卖方向买方交付货物所涉及的相关义务、成本和风险来告知销售合同。
《国际贸易术语解释通则》不做什么 - 《国际贸易术语解释通则》本身不做什么:
- 构成合同;
- 取代管辖合同的法律;
- 明确所有权转移地点;
- 说明应付价格、货币或信用条款。 这些项目由销售合同中的明示条款和适用法律定义。
INCOTERMS 2010 分为两类:

WHAT INCOTERMS ARE - INCOTERMS are a set of three-letter standard trade terms most commonly used in international contracts for the sale of goods. First published in 1936, INCOTERMS provide internationally accepted definitions and rules of interpretation for most common commercial terms. In the US, INCOTERMS are increasingly used in domestic sales contracts rather than UCC shipment and delivery terms.
WHAT INCOTERMS DO - INCOTERMS inform the sales contract by defining the respective obligations, costs and risks involved in the delivery of goods from the Seller to the Buyer.
WHAT INCOTERMS DO NOT DO - INCOTERMS by themselves DO NOT:
- Constitute a contract;
- Supersede the law governing the contract;
- Define where title transfers; nor,
- Address the price payable, currency or credit terms. These items are defined by the express terms in the sales contract and by the governing law.
