Incoterms 2000
By the 1920s, commercial traders developed a set of trade terms to describe their rights and liabilities with regard to the sale and transport of goods. These trade terms consisted of short abbreviations for lengthy contract provisions. Unfortunately, there was no uniform interpretation of them in all countries, and therefore misunderstandings often arose in cross-border transactions.
To improve this aspect of international trade, the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) in Paris developed INCOTERMS (International Commercial TERMS), a set of uniform rules or the interpretation of international commercial terms defining the costs, risks, and obligations of buyers and sellers in international transactions. First published in 1936, these rules have been periodically revised to account for changing modes of transport and document delivery. The current version is Incoterms 2000.

《國際貿易http://www.stonebuy.com/trade/術語解釋通則2000》
20世紀20年代，商人們開發了一套用于說明他們在貨物銷售和運輸中權利和義務的貿易http://www.stonebuy.com/trade/術語。這些貿易http://www.stonebuy.com/trade/術語由代表冗長合同條款的簡短縮寫構成。不幸的是，這些術語在不同的國家沒有同意的解釋，因此，在跨國境貿易http://www.stonebuy.com/trade/中，常常出現誤解。
為了對國際貿易http://www.stonebuy.com/trade/的這一領域進行改進，設在巴黎的國際商會（ICC）開發了一套用于解釋確定國交儀中買賣雙方費用、風險和責任的統一規則——國際貿易http://www.stonebuy.com/trade/術語解釋通則。該通則初版于1936，定期進行修訂以反映運輸和單據交付方式的變化。現行的版本為《國際貿易http://www.stonebuy.com/trade/術語解釋通則2000》。

Use of Incoterms
Incoterms are not implied into contracts for the sale of goods. If you desire to use Incoterms, you must specifically include them in your contract. Further, your contract should expressly refer to the rules of interpretation as defined in the latest revision of Incoterms, for example, Incoterms 2000, and you should ensure the proper application of the terms by additional contract provisions. Also, Incoterms are not 'laws'. In case of a dispute, courts and arbitrators will look at: 1) the sales contract, 2) who has possession of the goods, and 3) what payment, if any, has been made. See International Contracts, also by World Trade Press.

《國際貿易http://www.stonebuy.com/trade/術語解釋通則》的使用
國際貿易http://www.stonebuy.com/trade/術語解釋通則并非暗含在貨物銷售合同中。如果想采用國際貿易http://www.stonebuy.com/trade/術語解釋通則，必須特地將其寫進合同中。而且合同應該明確援引國際貿易http://www.stonebuy.com/trade/術語解釋通則的最新修訂本，如《國際貿易http://www.stonebuy.com/trade/術語解釋通則2000》中確定的解釋規則。此外，還應該通過附加的合同條款確保這些術語的正確應用。而且，國際貿易http://www.stonebuy.com/trade/術語解釋通則不是“法律”。當出現糾紛時，法院和仲裁機構將考察：（1）銷售合同；（2）誰擁有貨物；（3）如果有的話，進行了哪些支付。參見世界貿易http://www.stonebuy.com/trade/出版社出版的《國際貿易http://www.stonebuy.com/trade/》一書。
