c. What is the general intent or purpose of the legislation?

The Purpose of INCOTERMS are to provide a set of international rules for

interpreting the chief terms used in foreign trade contracts, and for the optional use

of businessmen who prefer the certainty of uniform international rules.

Keeping pace with trade practices. Parties to a contract often are unaware of the

differences between trading practices in their respective countries. The existing

diversity of interpretation is a constant source of friction in international trade,

leading to misunderstandings, disputes and references to the courts with all the

waste of time and money that these entail. To help traders overcome this friction, the

International Chamber of Commerce first published a set of international rules in

1936.

contracts. Difficulties arising from inadequate information. Difficulties arising from

diversity in interpretation.
