International Commercial Terms establish clear guidelines for exporters and importers, outlining "who is responsible for what" during the movement of goods between a seller and buyer. While these terms are primarily used for international trade, they can also apply to domestic transactions.
It’s important to note that Incoterms do not mandate a sales contract for the goods being exchanged. Instead, they serve as a standard framework for understanding the responsibilities of both parties involved, helping to avoid confusion and disputes during the shipping process.
