EVOLUTION OF INCO TERMS
2
Evolution of Inco termsBut these are not such hard and fast rules anyway. After having created in 1936 for the first time, they have been changed for six times to keep pace with the development of international trade. Some significant revisions include:
•FCA was introduced; to deal with the case where the receiving end in maritime trade was no longer ships’ rail but rather a point on land prior to landing a board on vessel.1980•Specification of sellers’ obligation to provide proof of a delivery as EDI messages in replacement of paper documentation provided both the parties are agreed upon communicating electronically.1990
•Unlike previous versions, the placing of the export clearance under FAS on the seller (previously on buyer)•Seller was made obliged of loading goods on buyers’ vehicles and buyers’ obligation was specified to unload the sellers’ vehicle, under FCA.2000

Language is the most important and complex tool of International trade. Minor changes in words can have an impact on all aspects of business agreement and for business negotiations to be effective, there must not be any sense of perplexity among parties and the phrases must mean the same thing throughout the industry. This is when ‘Inco terms” comes into its useful existence.
Inco (International Commercial Terms) terms are the trade terms published by International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) that are commonly used in all type of trade contracts (international and domestic). These terms make international trade easy by helping traders who are in different countries speaking different languages to understand one another.

INCO Terms Rules
EXW – Ex Works Places maximum obligations on the buyer and minimum obligations on the seller. Seller makes the goods available at its premises and the buyer pays all the transportation costs and bears all the risks. If parties wish the seller to be responsible for the risks and costs, this has to be made clear right in the contract of sale.
FCA – Free Carrier Seller is responsible for handing over the goods and pays for the carriage to the named point of delivery. He bears the risk until the goods are handed over to the first carrier.
CPT – Carriage Paid To Seller pays for carriage. Buyer is responsible for the risks as soon as goods are handed over to the first carrier.
CIP – Carriage and Insurance Paid To
Seller pays for the carriage and insurance. Risk passes to buyer after handing over of goods to the first carrier.

INCO Terms Rules
FAS – Free Alongside Ship
Seller is only responsible for loading the goods on ship and clearing the goods for export. Typically used for heavy-lift.
FOB – Free on Board Seller must load the goods. Coat and risk are divided among both when goods are actually on board.
CFR – Cost and Freight Seller must pay the costs and freights. Risk is transferred to the buyer once the goods are loaded on the vessel.
CIF – Cost, Insurance and Freight
As same as the CFR except the seller pays for the insurance.
Rules for international trade conducted by Water10
As we can see, each Inco term specifies:The obligations/responsibilities of each party.The point/terminal in the journey of trade where the risk and freight transfers from one party to another.And hence by agreeing over these Inco terms and incorporating them in their trade contracts, the buyer and seller can achieve a common understanding of what each party is obliged to do and who is responsible for an event of any loss or mishap.
There is no right Inco term; there is no bad Inco term. The thing is who is in the best position to do the activity!!
