Incoterms
No matter how far a country is from the other, is the comex (along with logistics) responsible for the release and clearance of goods at the final destination, both exporting and importing called Incoterms are a standard set of definitions and rules determining neutral practices that serve to define, in a contract of international sale, the reciprocal rights and obligations of the exporter and importer.
The purpose of Incoterms is to provide a set of international rules for the interpretation of the most common terms used in international trade. Thus, the uncertainties of interpretation mentioned terms in different countries can be avoided or at least reduced. The use of INCOTERMS is optional, being, however, very recommendable to simplify their use and to avoid conflicting interpretations.
