Incoterms & Trade Documents
Understand the 11 ICC Incoterms® 2020 rules: delivery point, transfer of risk and allocation of costs. Learn the bill of lading, invoice, packing list, certificate of origin and export payment methods, then build an FCA export pallet in Cargo Studio 3D.
Instructor: Tim Academy Stowage.id
What you will master
