The Incoterms 2010 rules were made to provide standard solutions for the division of costs, tasks and risks between the seller and the buyer in relation to any sale of goods. Where the seller and buyer are located in different locations, and the goods will be carried by an independent carrier, it is crucial to understand the full scope of the carrier’s obligations before entering into the contract. Specifically, since the late 1960s, containerization has changed shipping practice. So handing over normally takes place in the carrier’s terminal before the arrival of the ship. Therefore, it seems we can no longer use FOB/CFR/CIF rules for containerized shipments. Nevertheless, in the case where a seller of goods in containers wants to use FOB/CFR/CIF rules, both parties can agree by stipulating this in the contract of sale so that the risk will pass to the buyer when the goods have been handed over at the terminal. The division of costs between the buyer and the seller should also be stipulated sufficiently and accurately because disputes relating to these often arise. KCI Citation Count: 6
