ABSTRACT
This paper discusses the International Commercial Terms used frequently in the International Transaction for the Sale of Goods. However, the revised 2020 incoterms provide eleven terms currently in use in different countries of the world; the aims of this paper discuss them one by one, thereby bringing out some features that differentiate them.

The paper recommended using incoterms correctly and clearly to the understanding and requirement of contracting parties and contract to avoid shipping costs.
