"The Revised Main Contents and Implications of Parties' Obligations in Incoterms 2010"

So far Incoterms are considered as rules used for international trade that have been published by the International Chamber of Commerce but will also be rules used for domestic and international trade in the future in order to facilitate the conduct of global commerce. These trade terms clarify certain obligations for parties in a sale of goods contract. Since the creation of the Incoterms rules by ICC in 1936, Incoterms rules as a globally accepted contractual standard has been regularly updated to keep pace with contemporary trade practices and the development of global trade. The recently‐launched Incoterms 2010 rules will be valid as of January 1, 2011. New terms such as DAT and DAP will replace previous terms such as DAF, DES, DEQ and DDU, and a new classification of Incoterms has been introduced. That is to say, terms for any mode or modes of transport are EXW, FCA, CPT, CIP, DAT, DAP and DDP and terms for sea and inland waterway transport are FAS, FOB, CFR and CIF. Under the last three terms, the ship's rail rules are not applied to the transfer of risks. The purpose of this paper is to contribute to the enhancement of the understanding of Incoterms 2010 by studying the revised main contents and implications of Incoterms 2010 rules.
