The most commonly used International Commercial Terms have been developed over time by the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) and are known as “Incoterms”. These are 3-letter short-hand expressions of trade terms that divide the various responsibilities between the seller and the buyer. This set of international rules for the interpretation of terms of trade was first published by the ICC in 1936, with the latest amendment introduced from 1st January 2020.
