Organization of Incoterms

　　Incoterms are grouped into four categories:

　　1. The “E” term (EXW) – The only term where the seller/exporter makes the goods available at his or her own premises7 to the buyer/importer.

　　2. The “F” terms (FCA, FAS, and FOB) – Terms where the seller/ exporter is responsible to deliver the goods to a carrier named by the buyer.

　　3. The “C” terms (CFR, CIF, CPT and CIP) – Terms where the seller/exporter/manufacturer is responsible for contracting and paying for carriage of the goods, but not responsible for additional costs or risk of loss or damages to the goods once they have been shipped. C terms evidence “shipment” (as opposed to “arrival”) contracts.

　　4. The “D” terms (DAF, DES, DEQ, DDU and DDP) – Terms whrer the seller/exporter/manufacturer is responsible for all costs and risks associated with bringing the goods to the place of destination. D terms evidence “arrival” contracts.

　　國際貿(mào)易術(shù)語解釋通則的結(jié)構(gòu)

　　國際貿(mào)易術(shù)語解釋通則分為四大類型：

　　1. E組術(shù)語(EXW)— 唯一的賣方/出口商在其場所將貨物交付買方/進口商的術(shù)語。

　　2. F組術(shù)語(FCA、FAS、和 FOB)—賣方/出口商負責(zé)將貨物交付買方指定承運人的術(shù)語。

　　3. C組術(shù)語(CFR、CIF、CPT和 CIP)—賣方/出口商/制造商負責(zé)訂立運輸合同并支付運費，但不負責(zé)裝船后的額外費用、損失風(fēng)險和貨物損壞。C組術(shù)語用于表明“裝運”(而不是“到達”)合同。

　　4. D組術(shù)語(DAF、DES、DEQ、DDU、和DDP)—賣方/出口商/制造商負責(zé)將貨物運抵目的地的所有費用和風(fēng)險。C組術(shù)語用于表明“到達”合同。

　　運輸方式

　　不是所有的國際貿(mào)易屬于都適合所有的運輸方式。某些術(shù)語在設(shè)計時就是準(zhǔn)備用于海輪運輸，而有些術(shù)語設(shè)計時是準(zhǔn)備用于所有運輸方式。下表列出了每種運輸方式適用的貿(mào)易術(shù)語[略]。
