This time, the topic is INCOTERMS.
I have already made the content about INCOTERMS. But this time, I will try to explain with different style.
When I see the data of YouTube analysts, there are many access to the videos regarding INCOTERMS. I thought there are many people who is interested in learning INCOTERMS.
Explained the easiest way to understand! Group E, Group F, Group C, Group D on the video!
What is INCOTERMS ?
・INCOTERMS is the agreement about Cost and Risk responsibility, between Shipper and Consignee.
・It makes clear that Shipper and Consignee take cost and risk responsibility, from where to where.
Actually, There are 11 types of INCOTERMS. And it is difficult to understand if you try to remember them one by one. This time, I will explain the easier way to understand INCOTERMS, for the beginner of logistics job.
The easier way to understand INCOTERMS is to understand the Group as category.
There are 4 groups. Group E, Group F, Group C, and Group D.
First, it’s better to understand the feature of these 4 groups. And then, please try to understand each terms in each groups.
Group E
First one is Group E Actually, we call it group but it is just only Ex-works
Feature of Ex-works
In Ex-Works, Consignee will take all cost and risk responsibility after loading the cargo at the Shipper’s factory.
Senior Cat It’s quite simple, isn’t it?
Group D
Feature of Group D
And then, the term that I will recommend to learn with Group E is, Group D.
Group D has the opposite feature from Group E.
In Group E, Consignee takes all cost and risk responsibility,
But on the other hand, in Group D, Shipper takes all cost and risk responsibility.
This is the rough image of Group D,
So in actual, There is the difference. Who pay Duty and Tax,and who take responsibility of unloading at Consignee, with DAP, DPU and DDP.
Senior Cat However, for the beginner of logistics, it’s better to understand roughly first.
Group F
Feature of Group F
In Group F, Shipper take cost and risk responsibility till port of exporting side.
Then, the Consignee take cost and risk responsibility after that.
Group C
Feature of Group C
It’s better to understand Group F and Group C together.
In Group C, Shipper takes cost responsibility, till the port of importing side.
And here is the complicating point.
In Group C, Shipper takes risk responsibility till port of exporting side, same as Group F.
Please watch this part many times until you understand clearly.

Please do not remember each terms one by one.
