They do not by themselves determine product legality, transfer of title, payment terms, contract remedies, tax registration, customs classification or whether a particular vape SKU may be imported or sold. This page is a procurement question list, not legal, tax or customs advice.<\/p>\n<h2>Questions to answer before accepting a delivery term<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Which Incoterms\u00ae rule and edition apply?<\/strong> Write the rule, named place and \u201cIncoterms\u00ae 2020\u201d in the quotation and contract.<\/li>\n<li><strong>What is the precise named place?<\/strong> A city, country or \u201cEU warehouse\u201d label is often too broad. Identify the terminal, warehouse, port or address and the delivery point within it.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Who contracts each stage of carriage?<\/strong> Record pickup, origin handling, main carriage, transit handling and destination delivery separately.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Where does risk transfer?<\/strong> Do not assume the party paying freight holds the risk for the same distance. Confirm the rule&#8217;s delivery point and the practical evidence of delivery.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Who performs export and import clearance?<\/strong> Confirm the exporter, importer of record, declarations, licences\/registrations and broker instructions.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Which charges are included?<\/strong> Ask for a written list covering terminal handling, security\/fuel surcharges, storage, examination, brokerage, duty, tax, final delivery and unloading.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Is insurance required or offered?<\/strong> Record the insured party, value, scope, exclusions, claim process and evidence. Do not treat \u201cinsured shipping\u201d as a complete answer.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Which transport documents will be issued?<\/strong> Align invoice, packing list, carriage document, export evidence, delivery evidence and batch records with the exact shipment.<\/li>\n<li><strong>What happens if the route changes?<\/strong> A change in origin, warehouse, carrier or named place can change cost, timing and responsibilities. Require written approval before substitution.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Which obligations remain outside Incoterms\u00ae?<\/strong> Put payment, title, inspection, acceptance, product evidence, compliance warranties, delay remedies and dispute terms elsewhere in the contract.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>Rules buyers commonly see in quotations<\/h2>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Rule family<\/th>\n<th>Question the buyer should ask<\/th>\n<th>Common comparison risk<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>EXW<\/td>\n<td>Can the buyer practically manage collection and export formalities at the seller&#8217;s location?<\/td>\n<td>A low product price can leave most logistics work and origin risk unpriced.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>FCA<\/td>\n<td>Which named place and carrier handover point apply, and who loads at that point?<\/td>\n<td>\u201cFCA China\u201d is not precise enough for a cost or risk comparison.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>CPT \/ CIP<\/td>\n<td>Where is delivery\/risk transfer versus the destination to which carriage is paid?<\/td>\n<td>Paid carriage can be mistaken for seller-held risk to destination.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>DAP<\/td>\n<td>Who is importer of record, who pays import charges, and is unloading included?<\/td>\n<td>A door-delivery label may hide clearance, duty, tax or unloading exclusions.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>DDP<\/td>\n<td>Can the seller lawfully and operationally perform the stated import obligations in the destination?<\/td>\n<td>The abbreviation may be used casually without a workable importer\/tax structure.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>FOB \/ CFR \/ CIF<\/td>\n<td>Is the movement genuinely port-to-port by sea or inland waterway, and which port is named?<\/td>\n<td>Sea-only rules can be used incorrectly for containerized multimodal or courier shipments.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>This table is only a question prompt.

A delivery rule does not turn an unverified catalog item into an approved product.<\/p>\n<h2>Incoterms\u00ae quotation wording template<\/h2>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>Proposed delivery basis:<\/strong> [RULE] [precise named place\/port], Incoterms\u00ae 2020. Seller to itemize included origin, carriage, insurance, destination, clearance, duty, tax, final-delivery and unloading charges; identify exporter and proposed importer of record; state the delivery\/risk evidence; list required shipment documents; and obtain written buyer approval before changing route, warehouse, carrier or delivery point.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Add separate contract clauses for payment, title, inspection, acceptance, product evidence, market eligibility, substitution, shortages, damage, delay, recalls and disputes. Use the <a href=\"https:\/\/artifactvapor.com\/vape-wholesale-landed-cost\/\">landed-cost worksheet<\/a> to convert each term into a comparable per-saleable-unit cost.<\/p>\n<h2>Receiving and evidence controls<\/h2>\n<p>At dispatch, record the carrier, tracking or carriage document, package count, weight, seal where applicable, batch allocation and handover timestamp. At receiving, reconcile those records with the purchase order, invoice, packing list, delivered packaging, batch identifiers, shortages and damage. Preserve exceptions before stock is released. The <a href=\"https:\/\/artifactvapor.com\/vape-batch-traceability\/\">batch traceability workflow<\/a> provides the related lot-level controls.<\/p>\n<h2>Official source<\/h2>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/iccwbo.org\/business-solutions\/incoterms-rules\/incoterms-2020\/\" rel=\"noopener\">International Chamber of Commerce Incoterms\u00ae 2020 page<\/a> describes the official rules, their allocation of costs, risks and obligations, and the ICC materials for choosing and applying a term. Use the official publication rather than an unsourced summary when negotiating a contract.<\/p>\n<p>For EU import research, the <a href=\"https:\/\/policy.trade.ec.europa.eu\/help-exporters-and-importers\/importing-eu_en\" rel=\"noopener\">European Commission&#8217;s importing guidance<\/a> points buyers to Access2Markets for tariffs, taxes, procedures, product requirements and rules of origin. Record the exact origin, destination, commodity-code assumption and lookup date.<\/p>\n<h2>Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n<h3>Which Incoterms\u00ae rule is best for a wholesale vape order?<\/h3>\n<p>There is no universally best rule. The workable choice depends on transport mode, named place, each party&#8217;s logistics and customs capability, importer structure, cost visibility and risk preference.<\/p>\n<h3>Does DDP mean every cost is included?<\/h3>\n<p>Do not rely on the label alone. Require the exact named place and an itemized written confirmation of charges, importer role, taxes, clearance, final delivery and exclusions.<\/p>\n<h3>Does an Incoterms\u00ae rule determine who owns the goods?<\/h3>\n<p>No. Address transfer of title and payment in the sales contract rather than assuming the delivery rule settles them.<\/p>\n<h3>Can FOB be used for air courier shipments?<\/h3>\n<p>FOB is an ICC rule for sea and inland-waterway transport. Ask the parties and their advisers to select a rule appropriate to the actual transport method.<\/p>\n<h3>Does the freight term confirm destination eligibility?<\/h3>\n<p>No. Product and market review remains separate. A warehouse, route or delivery term is not regulatory approval.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Next step:<\/strong> use the <a href=\"https:\/\/artifactvapor.com\/wholesale-ordering-checklist\/\">wholesale ordering checklist<\/a>, then send the exact product links, quantities, destination and requested delivery basis through the <a href=\"https:\/\/artifactvapor.com\/contact\/\">Artifact Vapor wholesale inquiry page<\/a>.
