Apart, from the duty costs, the responsibility to pay duty also sift from one person to another (Seller or buyer) based on the incoterms in which such contracts are entered into. Thus, it is imperative for a business to properly define their incoterms before entering international trade.
Also, Incoterms act as a standard guideline for businesses across the globe and it eliminates the confusion arising from various understandings of law in various countries.
