 Differences of new edition the INCOTERMS 2010 of the past the INCOTERMS 2000:

• Conditions: DAP and DAT: In the Incoterms 2010 the number of terms was reduced from 13 to 11. But two new rules ("Delivered at Terminal", DAT; "Delivered at Place", DAP) which can be used as multimodal is thus created. Four the least used in practice of the term were cancelled ("Delivered at Frontier", DAF; "Delivered Ex Ship", DES; "Delivered Ex Quay", DEQ; "Delivered Duty Unpaid", DDU).
• The term DAT (Delivered at Terminal) replaces with itself the term DEQ: the goods are made available to the buyer not unloaded from the arrived vehicle. DAT unlike DEQ is applicable for multimodal transportations. According to the experts on logistics DAT (Delivered at Terminal) corresponds most of all to practice of logistics in port.
• The term DAP (Delivered at Place) is the general provision at which it is important to specify the destination precisely. The term DAP replaces with itself three terms: DAF, DES, DDU, also provides that the goods are provided to the buyer already ready for unloading (under our conditions for an overload under customs control, or for a customs clearance).
• New expenses and risks in FOB, CFR and CIF: in terms of delivery FOB (Free on Board), CFR (Cost and Freight) and CIF (Cost Insurance and Freight) expenses and risks are established in a new way. Under these three terms of delivery the risk passed into the Incoterms 2000 after delivery to a vessel board, and in Inkoterms2010 transition of risks is carried out after full loading of freight aboard a vessel (about distribution of responsibility and transition of risks to the Incoterms 2010 you look further).
