"Incoterms® In Practice" Webinar
Learn what has changed with Incoterms® 2020 and how to apply the new terms to your advantage.

Thursday, January 30, 2020
10:00 - 11:30 AM
The Incoterms® rules are the world's essential terms of trade for the sale of goods. Whether you are filing a purchase order, packaging and labeling a shipment for freight transport, or preparing a certificate of origin at a port, the Incoterms® rules are there to guide you. The Incoterms® rules provide specific guidance to individuals participating in the import and export of global trade on a daily basis.
 
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.

The webinar will be presented by Bob Imbriani, Executive Vice President, International, Team Worldwide.
