SUMMARY:BIFA Virtual YFN - Incoterms
DESCRIPTION:Join our next Virtual YFN event\, where we’ll be exploring the essentials of Incoterms and what they mean for businesses trading internationally. \nIncoterms are globally recognised rules that define the responsibilities of buyers and sellers in international trade. They clarify who is responsible for transport\, insurance\, customs clearance\, risk\, and costs at each stage of a shipment. Using the correct Incoterm helps prevent misunderstandings\, reduces risk\, and ensures smoother cross-border transactions. \nDuring this session\, we will cover:\n•  A detailed explanation of all 11 Incoterms and how each one operates in practice\n•  Identification of which Incoterms are mode-specific and which can be used across all modes of transport\n•  Key differences between the various Incoterms and how they impact cost\, risk\, and responsibility\n•  How risk transfers between buyer and seller \nWhether you’re new to Freight Forwarding or looking to refresh your knowledge\, this session will provide valuable\, practical insights. \nTo attend this event\, register HERE \n
