Organization of Incoterms

　　Incoterms are grouped into four categories:

　　1. The “E” term (EXW) – The only term where the seller/exporter makes the goods available at his or her own premises7 to the buyer/importer.

　　2. The “F” terms (FCA, FAS, and FOB) – Terms where the seller/ exporter is responsible to deliver the goods to a carrier named by the buyer.

　　3. The “C” terms (CFR, CIF, CPT and CIP) – Terms where the seller/exporter/manufacturer is responsible for contracting and paying for carriage of the goods, but not responsible for additional costs or risk of loss or damages to the goods once they have been shipped. C terms evidence “shipment” (as opposed to “arrival”) contracts.

　　4. The “D” terms (DAF, DES, DEQ, DDU and DDP) – Terms whrer the seller/exporter/manufacturer is responsible for all costs and risks associated with bringing the goods to the place of destination. D terms evidence “arrival” contracts.

　　國(guó)際貿(mào)易術(shù)語解釋通則的結(jié)構(gòu)

　　國(guó)際貿(mào)易術(shù)語解釋通則分為四大類型：

　　1. E組術(shù)語(EXW)— 唯一的賣方/出口商在其場(chǎng)所將貨物交付買方/進(jìn)口商的術(shù)語。

　　2. F組術(shù)語(FCA、FAS、和 FOB)—賣方/出口商負(fù)責(zé)將貨物交付買方指定承運(yùn)人的術(shù)語。

　　3. C組術(shù)語(CFR、CIF、CPT和 CIP)—賣方/出口商/制造商負(fù)責(zé)訂立運(yùn)輸合同并支付運(yùn)費(fèi)，但不負(fù)責(zé)裝船后的額外費(fèi)用、損失風(fēng)險(xiǎn)和貨物損壞。C組術(shù)語用于表明“裝運(yùn)”(而不是“到達(dá)”)合同。

　　4. D組術(shù)語(DAF、DES、DEQ、DDU、和DDP)—賣方/出口商/制造商負(fù)責(zé)將貨物運(yùn)抵目的地的所有費(fèi)用和風(fēng)險(xiǎn)。C組術(shù)語用于表明“到達(dá)”合同。

　　Mode of transport

　　Not all Incoterms are appropriate for all modes of transport. Some terms were designed with sea vessels8 in mind while others were designed to be applicable to all modes. The following table set out which terms appropriate for each mode of transport.

　　運(yùn)輸方式

　　不是所有的國(guó)際貿(mào)易屬于都適合所有的運(yùn)輸方式。某些術(shù)語在設(shè)計(jì)時(shí)就是準(zhǔn)備用于海輪運(yùn)輸，而有些術(shù)語設(shè)計(jì)時(shí)是準(zhǔn)備用于所有運(yùn)輸方式。下表列出了每種運(yùn)輸方式適用的貿(mào)易術(shù)語[略]。
