ESHPR Ltd provides professional guidance on Incoterms® 2020, the internationally recognised trade rules established by the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC). With the introduction of the UK Customs Declaration Service (CDS), businesses are legally required to submit the applicable Incoterms® for imported goods to HMRC. Our experienced customs specialists help importers and exporters understand and apply the correct Incoterms® to ensure compliance, reduce risk, and facilitate smooth international trade.
Incoterms® define the responsibilities of buyers and sellers throughout the movement of goods, including transport arrangements, delivery points, transfer of risk, customs responsibilities, insurance, and shipping costs. ESHPR Ltd provides practical advice to help businesses select the most suitable Incoterm for every shipment, ensuring contracts are clear, compliant, and aligned with international trading practices.
ESHPR Ltd explains which party is responsible for arranging and paying for the main transportation of goods under each Incoterms® 2020 rule, helping buyers and sellers avoid costly misunderstandings.
We advise businesses on where delivery takes place and exactly when responsibility and risk transfer from the seller to the buyer, ensuring contracts accurately reflect commercial obligations.
Our experts explain which party is responsible for freight costs, insurance, customs clearance, documentation, import duties, export formalities, and unloading charges under each Incoterms® rule.
ESHPR Ltd helps businesses correctly apply Incoterms® 2020 by identifying the appropriate named location and ensuring contracts clearly state the correct rule, such as CIF Shanghai Incoterms® 2020 or DAP Destination Incoterms® 2020.
