Frequently Asked Questions

Why do quotes on different terms mislead?

An ex-works price looks cheapest but excludes everything. Always restate quotes on a single term before comparing.

Do incoterms decide title transfer?

No. They allocate cost and risk of loss; title passes according to the sale contract.
