How this service works
Incoterms 2020 decoder for trade and import-export agents. Returns a plain-English explanation of any Incoterm with buyer/seller obligation split, risk transfer point, documentation checklist, and insurance guidance.
Output
A structured response containing: plain-English explanation of the requested Incoterm, a split of buyer vs. seller obligations, the specific point at which risk transfers from seller to buyer, a checklist of required trade documents, and guidance on insurance requirements under that term.
Example use cases
Import contract obligation verification
“We just received a purchase order from our supplier marked with DDP terms, but I'm not entirely sure what that means for us as the buyer. Can you break down what we're responsible for, when the risk officially transfers to us, what paperwork we need to collect, and whether we need to arrange any insurance coverage?”
Shipping term comparison for procurement
“I'm trying to decide between FOB and CIF for ordering components from overseas. Walk me through how the obligations split between us and the seller for each one, show me exactly when ownership risk passes to us, list out the documents we'll need in either scenario, and clarify the insurance expectations under both terms.”
Trade compliance document checklist
“Our contract says 'EXW' but I'm not familiar with what that actually entails. Can you explain what the seller is on the hook for versus what falls on us, tell me the exact point where risk transfers, give me a complete checklist of documents required, and let me know if either party needs to arrange insurance?”
