On
January 1, 2011 the much heralded 2010 revision to Incoterms® will
take effect. ICC Incoterms® are global rules that clarify the
costs, risks, and responsibilities of both buyers and sellers. Developed by ICC and used by companies to
move goods around the world, ICC Incoterms® have become the
standard in international business rules-setting. To educate American
business on the new rules, USCIB will offer a series of seminars entitled:
ICC Incoterms® 2010 for Americans®. These seminars are
accredited by ICC and will be taught by Frank J. Reynolds, an expert
on Incoterms® and a member of ICC's Incoterms® 2010
drafting commission. Seminars are scheduled to begin in September. To view
seminar dates and locations, and to register online, click here or visit www.iccincoterms2010.org.
