Depending on the type of transport, land, sea or air, Incoterms serve one set of functions or another:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>For <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/logisber.com\/en\/transporte\/transporte-aereo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">air freight<\/a><\/strong>, Incoterms such as EXW, FCA, CPT, CIP, CIP, DDU or DDP apply. For example, the EXW, whereby the seller delivers the goods to his location and the buyer assumes all risks and costs of transport; or the DDP, which defines that the seller is responsible for the costs and risks until the goods arrive at the agreed place, including the import duties of the goods. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/logisber.com\/en\/transporte\/transporte-terrestre\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">land transport<\/a><\/strong>, which affects transport by road or rail, there are Incoterms such as EXW, FCA, CPT, CIP, CIP, DAF, DDP or DDU. The FCA defines that the seller delivers the goods in a specific place to a carrier, either by truck or train, designated by the buyer. From that moment on, the risk is transferred to the buyer. Meanwhile, another important Incoterm such as the DAF establishes that the seller fulfils their obligation by delivering the goods at the agreed border before customs in the destination country. The seller is responsible for the costs up to that point and for the customs formalities in the country of export, and after crossing the border, the responsibility is transferred to the buyer. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In relation to <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/logisber.com\/en\/transporte\/transporte-maritimo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">maritime transport<\/a><\/strong>, it is important to highlight some of the Incoterms mentioned above, as well as certain specific Incoterms such as FOB, FAS, CFR, CIF, DES or DEQ. For example, the FOB determines that the seller delivers the goods on board the designated vessel and, from then on, it is the buyer who is responsible for the costs and risks. Under CIF, the seller, in addition to having to deliver the goods to the ship, must also pay the freight costs to the destination port.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/logisber.com\/contenido\/subidas\/2024\/01\/empresa-de-transporte-especialista-en-incoterms.jpg\" alt=\"Empresa de transporte especialista en Incoterms\" class=\"wp-image-21783\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Transport company specializing in Incoterms<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Understanding Incoterms is essential for any forwarding operation to be carried out smoothly and effectively.
