    Incoterms

The Incoterms (International Commercial Terms) were created in 1963, when the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), based in Paris, interpreted consolidated the different contractual forms that were being used in the international trade.

The Incoterms are used to define, within the structure of an international procurement sales contract, the rights obligations from the exporter importer, stablishing a standard of definitions, determining neutral rules practices, : the exporter is supposed to deliver the commodity, who pays the shipping who is responsible for hiring the insurance.
