Incoterms-terms of delivery are revised from time to time to match up with the changes in the trade. It is recommended that the seller and the buyer use the latest version of Incoterms (Incoterms 2020).
They may, however, agree on the use of some earlier version of Incoterms. The texts of earlier versions of Incoterms 2010 are available from the Chamber of Commerce or from International Chamber of Commerce (ICC).
Some differences between Incoterms 2020 and Incoterms 2010 terms of delivery
Carriage – FCA, DAP, DPU and DDP
According to FCA, DAP, DPU and DDP the seller/the buyer may, except contract for carriage, alternatively arrange for carriage at its own means of transport.
Insurance – CIP
According to CIP Incoterm 2020 the seller must obtain insurance cover complying with Institute Cargo Clauses (A). Parties may, however, agree on a lower level of cover.
