Incoterms 2020 Handbook

Global Trade Law Series, Volume 57

Incoterms® 2020 Handbook, penned by an expert who has been active in the formal interpretation, drafting and application of the various versions of the Incoterms since the 1990s, is a thorough and hands-on guide for advanced or advancing users elucidating the framing and implications of each term in the complex international trade and transport environment where English is the lingua franca.

The internationally accepted trade terms known as Incoterms comprise a crucial instrument for the supply chain management. Although the terms have been used globally in contracts of sale for nearly a century, there is surprisingly little practical legal guidance on how to use them appropriately to avoid accidents and unwarranted disputes.
