Incoterms 2010 Workshop |
(CIF, CFR, DDP, FOB...............) |
¡§Incoterms ¡šis a trademark of International Chamber of Commerce, registered in several countries.
The long-awaited revision of Incoterms 2000 will enter into force on 1 January 2011. The revision, the first in 10 years, contains many changes to rules which apply to billions of dollars of business transactions for the sale of goods each year. New Incoterms 2010 will be published in September, 2010 and the related training course will be offered by ICC-HK on 23 October, 2010
*Each participant will receive a FREE publication of Incoterms 2010
Although Incoterms rules are extensively used in international trade, many corporations wrongly interpret the meaning of the rules and resulted in unnecessary loss and disputes in trade. This workshop will give a full and proper interpretation of the new rules, the differences between Incoterms 2000 and Incoterms 2010, how to reduce your risk in using these terms that you and your colleagues will need to know in your day-to-day practice. Details of the workshop will be advised later on.
