What does it mean?
An Incoterms® rule where the seller makes goods available at the named place, without an obligation to load the collecting vehicle or clear export. The buyer arranges the onward movement and related formalities.
In practice
Before accepting EXW, a buyer checks how collection and export procedures will be arranged.
Before requesting a quote
Before comparing freight quotations, identify the agreed delivery rule and the exact named place or port. Explain which transport stages you need included and who coordinates the other stages. This helps separate the freight request from the obligations already agreed between buyer and seller.
- Agreed delivery rule, edition and named place or port
- Transport stages to include in the quotation
