Incoterms?2010的主要特征 Main features of the Incoterm?2010 rules 1.两个新的贸易术语,即DAT和DAP 代替了原来1. Two new Incoterms rules — DAT and DAP— Incoterms2000的DAF,DES,DEQ和DDU术语。 have replaced the Incoterms 2000 rules DAF, DES, DEQ and DDU The number of Incoterms rules has been reduced 贸易术语的数量从原来的13个减少到11个。 from 13 to 11. This has been achieved by substituting Incoterms2010用两个可以不顾及已议定的运输模式 two rules that may be used irrespective of the agreed 的新术语——DAT,目的地交货和DAP,指定地交货— mode of transport — DAT, Delivered at Terminal, and —代替了Incoterms2000 中的DAF,DES,SEQ和DDUDAP, Delivered at Place — for the incoterms 2000 rules 术语。 DAF, DES, DEQ and DDU. Under both new rules, delivery occurs at a named destination: in DAT, at the buyer’s disposal unloaded from the arriving vehicle (as under the former DEQ rule); in DAP, likewise at the buyer’s disposal, but ready for unloading (as under the former DAF, DES and DDU rules). The new rules make the Incoterms 2000 rules DES and DEQ superfluous. The named terminal in DAT may well be in a port, and DAT can therefore safely be used in cases where the Incoterms 2000 rule DEQ once was. Likewise, the arriving “vehicle” under DAP may well be a ship and the named place of destination may well be a port: consequently, DAP can safely be used in cases where the Incoterms 2000 rule DES once was. These new rules, like their predecessors, are “delivered”, with the seller bearing all the costs (other than those related to import clearance, where applicable) and risks involved in bringing the goods to the named place of destination. 2. Classification of the 11 Incoterms? 2010 rules The 11 Incoterms? 2010 rules are presented in two distinct classes: RULES FOR ANY MODE OR MODES OF TRANSPOTR EXW EX WORKS FCA FREE CARRIER CPT CARRIAGE PAID TO CIP CARRIAGE AND INSURANCE PAID TO DAT DELIVERED AT TERMINAL DAP DELIVERED AT PLACE DDP DELIVERED DUTY PAID RULES FOR SEA AND INLAND WATERWAY TRANSPORT FAS FREE ALONGSIDE SHIP FOB FREE ON BOARD CFR COST AND FREIGHT CIF COST INSURANCE AND FREIGHT DAT和DAP术语都规定需在指定地点交货:在DAT情况下,从运输工具上卸下货物交由买方处置(这和先前的DEQ术语一样);在DAP情况下同样交由买方处置,但需做好卸货的准备(这和先前的DAF, DES和DDU术语一样)。 新贸易术语的使用,使Incoterms2000中的DES和DEQ成为多余。DAT的目的地可以是港口,因此DAT可以用于在Incoterms2000下DEQ适用的情况。同样的,DAP中运达货物的交通工具可以是轮船,而目的地也可以是港口,因此DAP可以用于Incoterms2000下DES适用的情况。这两个新的术语,和先前的几个术语一样,是由卖方承担所有费用(除了与进口清算有关的费用)和货物到达目的地前的风险。 2. Incoterms?2010中11种贸易术语的分类 Incoterms?2010 11种贸易术语目前被分为两类: 适用于任何运输方式的术语: EXW 工厂交货 FCA 货交承运人 CPT 运费付至 CIP 运费及保险费付至 DAT 目的地交货 DAP 所在地交货 DDP 完税后交货 适用于海上和内陆水上运输的术语: FAS 船边交货 FOB 船上交货 CFR 成本加运费 CIF 成本、保险费加运费 The first class includes the seven Incoterms? 2010 rules that can be used irrespective of the mode of transport selected and irrespective of whether one or more than one mode of transport is employed. EXW, FCA, CPT, CIP, DAT, DAP and DDP belong to this class. They can be used even when there is no maritime transport at all. It is important to remember, however, that these rules can be used in cases where a ship is used for part of the carriage. In the second class of Incoterms? 2010 rules, the point of delivery and the place to which the goods are carried to the buyer are both ports, hence the label “sea and inland waterway” rules. FAS, FOB, CFR and CIF belong to this class. Under the last three Incoterms rules, all mention of the ship’s rail as the point of delivery has been omitted in preference for the goods being delivered when they are “on board” the vessel. This more closely reflects modern commercial reality and avoids the rather dated image of the risk swinging to and fro across an imaginary perpendicular line. 3. Rules for domestic and international trade Incoterms rules have traditionally been used in international sale contracts where goods pass across national boarders. In various areas of the world, however, trade blocs, like the European Union, have made border formalities between different countries less significant. Consequently, the subtitle of the Incoterms? 2010 rules formally recognize that they are available for application to both international and domestic sale contracts. As a result, the Incoterms? 2010 rules clearly state in a number of places that the obligation to comply with export/import formalities exists only where applicable. 第一种分类中的七种贸易术语不用考虑所选用运输方式的种类。EXW,FCA,CPT,CIP,DAT,DAP和DDP都属于第一种分类。它们甚至可以运用于没有海上运输的情况下。谨记只要运输中一个部分运用过船只便可以适用此类术语。 在第二类术语中,交货点和把货物送达买方的地点都是港口,所以只适用于“海上或内陆水上运输”。FAS,FOB,CFR和CIF都属于这一类。最后的三个术语,删除了以越过船舷为交货标准而代之以将货物装运上船。这更准确的反应了现代商业现实,避了以往风险围绕船舷这条虚拟垂线来回摇摆。 3.国内贸易和国际贸易的规定 传统的Incoterms规则只在国际销售合同中运用,此种交易货物运输都需跨越国界。在世界许多地区,商业集团如欧盟使得不同国家间的过关手续不再重要。所以,Incoterms?2010正式认可所有的贸易规则既可以适用于国内交易也可以适用于国际交易。所以,Incoterms?2010 在一些地方明确规定,只有在适当的时候,才有义务遵从进口或者出口的手续。 两个新发展使得ICC相信向这个方向的改革是适宜的。首先,商人们普遍在国内贸易合同使用Incoterms2010规则。其次,比起先前提到的统一的商业规则中的运输和交付术语,在国内贸易中更多美国人愿意使用Incoterms2010中的术语。 Two developments have persuaded ICC that a movement in this direction is timely. Firstly, traders commonly use Incoterms rules for purely domestic sale contract. The second reason is the greater willingness in the Unites States to use Incoterm rules in domestic trade rather than the former Uniform Commercial Code shipment and delivery terms.
