How important is the correct coordination of Incoterms?

Incoterms define costs, risks and responsibilities in international transport and should be clearly agreed before dispatch begins.

Correct coordination of Incoterms is important because they define responsibilities, transfer of costs and risk between buyer and seller. In international transport, Incoterms influence who organizes transport, insurance, export, import and certain customs processes.

Unclear delivery terms can lead to misunderstandings, delays or unplanned costs. Especially for exports to Central Asia, the Caucasus or the Middle East, Incoterms should be clearly agreed before dispatch begins.

GLOBALSPED takes Incoterms into account in transport planning, quote calculation and document coordination so that responsibilities and cost items are defined as clearly as possible.
