Abstract:
The conditions of delivery issued by the International Chamber of Commerce control the essential
obligations of the buyer and of the seller in the international trade, such as the transfer of goods to the buyer,
transport costs, the liability for the loss and damage of goods and the insurance costs.
The delivery conditions (INCOTERMS) apply to the parties of a sale contract (national or international)
and refer to - but are not limited to - special rights and obligations under this contractual relationship. Based on
a guaranteed constant definition in this way, subsequent problems of interpretation or discrepancies between the
parties of the sale contract must be avoided.
These conditions do not represent legal dispositions and thus they become legally binding only if they
have been effectively agreed between sale contract parties by means of an appropriate reference. Regardless, in
individual cases, conflicting legal dispositions still have priority over an INCOTERMS clause.
