Incoterms (International Commercial terms) are a series of international trade terms, published by the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) and widely used in commercial transactions. The rules are accepted by governments, legal authorities and merchants worldwide for the interpretation of most commonly used terms in international trade.

Incoterms reduce or remove altogether uncertainties arising from different interpretation of such terms in different countries. The scope of Incoterms extends to the rights and obligations of parties under a contract of sale at goods delivery part (terms of goods delivery). The rules explain which party to the sale contract has the obligation to make carriage or insurance arrangements, when the seller delivers the goods to the buyer, and which costs each party is responsible for.

From January 1, 2011, the eighth edition, Incoterms 2010, has effect.
