What are Incoterms?

Incoterms (International Commercial Terms) are a set of standardized trade rules created by the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) to define the responsibilities of buyers and sellers in international trade. They outline who is responsible for transportation, insurance, duties, and other costs.
