1. There will be eleven Incoterms 2010 rules (see below for complete list). Four rules have been deleted while two new rules have been created.
2. Many National Committees (including the U.S.) reported being asked the same questions time after time – such as where Incoterms rules address ownership (note that Incoterms do not address transfer of title/ownership). Since these were covered in the Introduction to Incoterms 2000, it became obvious that many people didn’t bother reading it. Thus, the Introduction to Incoterms 2010 has been reduced and guidance notes have been provided for each rule.
3. Key terminology is now defined in relation to its use in Incoterms rules in the now-abbreviated Introduction.
4. There will be illustrations along with the rules themselves.
5. The delivery point for three rules has been changed.
6. One of the new rules specifically remedies a potential problem with the use of Incoterms 2000 in domestic trade.
Persons located in the U.S. can preorder and purchase the Incoterms 2010 book at the ICC USA's website found here. Persons located in Europe can order the Incoterms 2010 book at the ICC's website.
