"Incoterms® In Practice"
Thursday, January 30, 2020
10:00 - 11:30 AM
You may know the definitions of Incoterms® 2010, but do you know what has changed with Incoterms® 2020 and how to apply the new terms? Many programs present the definitions of Incoterms® but only provide a few select ways to apply them. This program will provide not only an understanding of the definitions, but also actual examples of using Incoterms® to your advantage in purchase orders, sales agreements, and even letters of credit. Not using the best term in the proper context can be costly. Don't realize your mistake when it is too late.
