This practical series of books has been guiding U.S. exporters and importers through successive Incoterms® revisions since 1993.
Incoterms® Rules for Americans® has been thoroughly rewritten for Incoterms® 2020 rules, and was included as a teaching material in the highly acclaimed seminar series instructed by the author under ICC auspices. It describes each rule in the context of U.S. business practice both for international and domestic trade in clear American business English. Each rule is explained from the viewpoint of seller and buyer, complete with real-life applications and matching proforma invoice illustrations. There is also a match-up with the U.S. Uniform Commercial Code (§2-319 through 2-324) shipment and delivery terms.
