Seminar on use of int’l trade terms

If you do import and export trade transactions or planning trading of goods, it’s a must to master the international commercial terms used in shipping goods via land air and sea (Incoterms).

While the revised set of rules on Incoterms in all international trade transactions took effect globally five years ago, many exporters and importers, traders, bankers, insurers, freight forwarders, carriers and the people handling such transactions namely business owners, treasurers, CFOs, procurement officers, trade negotiators and many lawyers are still unaware of these changes.

To educate the business community and the general public, the International Chamber of Commerce in collaboration with the Center for Global Best Practices, will hold a seminar on the topic titled “Incoterms: Revised International Rules in the Interpretation of Trade Terms” on March 24 at the EDSA Shangri- La Hotel in Mandaluyong City.
