TERMS OF SHIPMENTS INCOTERMS

The INCOTERMS (International Commercial Terms) is a universally recognized set of definition of international trade terms, such as FOB, CFR & CIF, developed by the International Chamber of Commerce(ICC) in Paris, France. It defines the trade contract responsibilities and liabilities between buyer and seller. It is invaluable and a cost-saving tool. The exporter and the importer need not undergo a lengthy negotiation about the conditions of each transaction. Once they have agreed on a commercial terms like FOB, they can sell and buy at FOB without discussing who will be responsible for the freight, cargo insurance and other costs and risks. The INCOTERMS was first published in 1936 --- INCOTERMS 1936 --- and it is revised periodically to keep with changes in the international trade needs. The complete definition of each term is available from the current publication --INCOTERMS 2000. Under INCOTERMS 2000, the international commercial terms are grouped into E, F, C and D, designated by the first letter of the term, relating to the final letter of the term. E.g. EXWexworks comes under grouped E. The purpose of Incoterms is to provide a set of international rules for the interpretation of the most commonly used trade terms in foreign trade. Thus, the uncertainties of different interpretations of such terms in different countries can be avoided or at least reduced to a considerable degree. The scope of Incoterms is limited to matters relating to the rights and obligations of the parties to the contract of sale with respect to the delivery of goods. Incoterms deal with the number of identified obligations imposed on the parties and the distribution of risk between the parties.

Export procedure and Documentation

In international trade, it would be best for exporters to refrain, wherever possible, from dealing in trade terms that would hold the seller responsible for the import customs clearance and/or payment of import customs duties and taxes and/or other costs and risks at the buyers end, for example the trade terms DEO (Delivery Ex Quay) and DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) Quite often, the charges and expenses at the buyers end may cost more to the seller than anticipated. To overcome losses, hire a reliable customs broker or freight forwarder in the importing country to handle the import routines. Similarly, it would be best for importers not to deal in EXW (Ex Works) which would hold the buyer responsible for the export customs clearance, payment of export customs charges and taxes, and other costs and risks at the sellers end TYPES OF SHIPPING BILL Based on the incentives offered by the government, customs authorities have introduced three types of shipping bills: DRAWBACK SHIPPING BILL: - Drawback shipping bill is useful for claiming the customs drawback against goods exported. DUTIABLE SHIPPING BILL: - Dutiable shipping bill is required for goods which are subject to export duty. DUTY-FREE SHIPPING BILL: - Duty-free shipping bill is useful for exporting goods on which there is no export duty. In order to facilitate easy recognition and quick processing, following colours have been provided to different kinds of shipping bills :

In case of export after payment of duty, under claim of rebate, the basic procedure is same as above, except that the triplicate copy (by excise inspector) and duplicate copy(by customs officer)will be sent to the officer to

whom rebate claim is filed. If claim of rebate is by electronic submission, these copies well be sent to excise rebate audit section at the place of export.
