Introduction to International Commercial Terms

Misunderstanding who bears the financial risk during international shipping can lead to catastrophic port fees, seized cargo, and devastating contract lawsuits.

Over 24 highly practical modules, you will dissect the structural rules maintained by the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC). The curriculum guides you step-by-step through every major trade category—explaining exactly where buyer liability ends and seller responsibility begins for common shipping arrangements, including point-of-origin pickups, port-to-port maritime freight, and delivery-duty-paid operations.

You will work through real-world global logistics case studies, learning how to correctly assign transport costs, arrange marine insurance coverage, and map clear border clearance obligations. By embedding these standardized international shipping metrics directly into your company's procurement contracts, you will graduate from this program fully prepared to minimize import-export liabilities, coordinate smoothly with freight forwarders, and protect global supply chains from expensive shipping delays.
