How do you ensure your contract complies with CISG using EXW Incoterms?
If you are involved in import/export operations, you need to understand how to use Incoterms and contracts to protect your interests and avoid disputes. Incoterms are standardized terms that define the responsibilities and risks of the seller and the buyer in international trade. Contracts are legal agreements that specify the terms and conditions of the transaction, such as price, delivery, payment, and dispute resolution. One of the most common Incoterms is EXW, which stands for Ex Works. This means that the seller delivers the goods to the buyer at the seller's premises or another named place, and the buyer bears all the costs and risks of transporting the goods to the final destination. However, using EXW Incoterms does not mean that you can ignore the applicable law that governs your contract. In this article, we will explain how to ensure your contract complies with CISG using EXW Incoterms.
