《INCOTERMS 2000》 In 1936, the International Charmber of Commerce (ICC) drew up a set of standard terms and definitions, which are known as Incoterms 1936, They were revised in 1953, 1982, 1990 and again in 2000 in order to bring the rules in line with current international trade practice.

However, As the loading of the goods is a continuous process, it is hard to use ship’s rail as a point to divide responsibilities and costs. To avoid any dispute, there are several derived terms. FOB Liner Terms FOB Under Tackle FOB Stowed FOB Trimmed

案例2 我与美商达成的合同中采用的术语为 FOB上海,合同规定的交货时间为2001年3~4月份,可是到了4月30日,买方指派的船只还未到达上海港,问: 1、货物在5月2日因仓库失火而全部灭失。发生灭失的风险应由谁来负担? 2、船于5月2日到达并装运,由此为保存货物而发 生的额外费用由谁负担?
