Novedades incoterms 2010

INCOTERMS 2010.

This revision, the first since 2000, will aim to adapt changes that have occurred inglobal trade over the last ten years. According the ICC website, the reasons for the changes include:
The importance of cargo security, the resulting new obligations on traders, developments incontainer transport, and the 2004 revision of the United States Uniform Commercial Code, which resulted in a deletion of the former US shipment and delivery terms.
