Explore the importance of Incoterms in international trade and their impact on the European logistics market. Incoterms is an international standard on the rights and obligations of the buyer and seller in the international transportation of goods.
Incoterms, or International Commercial Terms, play a crucial role in defining the responsibilities and liabilities of buyers and sellers in global trade. In the European logistics market, understanding and correctly applying Incoterms is essential for seamless and cost-effective international transactions. These terms, including EXW, FOB, CIF and DAP, govern everything from the point of origin to the final destination of the goods. For example, EXW and FOB give buyers more control over the transportation process, while other terms imply that sellers take charge. Interestingly, CIF prices are often quoted initially, but there is flexibility to offer prices based on different terms. Neele-Vat, with its extensive experience in international logistics, recommends choosing EXW or FOB, allowing maximum control while using our expertise to manage transportation to your specified destination. We will elaborate on each Incoterm and offer valuable insights for navigating the European logistics landscape.

The use of ICC Incoterms® is highly recommended for several reasons. One of the most essential is that these rules are the international standard, which, when used correctly, prevents misunderstandings and makes international trade run smoothly. In addition, ICC Incoterms® are available in more than 30 languages, ensuring accessibility.
The important thing to emphasize is that ICC Incoterms® are not legally enshrined in laws or treaties, which means that parties must mutually agree to use them. In cases where these rules are deviated from, we strongly recommend that this is explicitly recorded in writing to avoid future disputes. Failure to adhere to the agreed ICC Incoterms® could potentially lead to a judicial review establishing a different understanding.
