Preambles
to Incoterms 2000
Incoterms 2000 provides Preambles explaining the
function of each Incoterm. These are reproduced
in full for visitors to this site. For example,
the Preamble to FAS FREE ALONGSIDE SHIP states
that under FAS the seller delivers when the goods
are placed alongside the vessel at the named port
of shipment. "The buyer has to bear all costs
and risks of loss of or damage to the goods from
that moment." Click on any of the 13 terms
listed below and read a concise definition from
the Preambles to Incoterms 2000. Several of the
Preambles, marked below with an *, include a footnote
referring to the Introduction. Click anywhere
on those pages to view the relevant part of the
Introduction. Please note that the terms will
appear on your screen in read-only format and
so cannot be copied or printed.
