Difference between Omni model Inco Terms and Marine Restricted

Omni model Inco Terms  Vs. Marine Restricted Inco Terms

 

As explained separately under different posts in this website, OMNI MODEL INCO TERMS are used for any modes of transport – Air, Sea and Land where in MARINE RESTRICTED INCO TERMS are used for the movement of goods under Sea and water ways. 

Here one question arises – whether marine restricted inco terms can be used for movement of goods by air or land.   Kindly note, Inco terms are rules for movement of goods and not Laws.  So there is no harm in using marine restricted term for shipments under air or land.  But a clear definition on risks and costs sharing of buyer and seller at each points of movement of goods may be clearly mentioned in the contract of carriage mutually agreed each other and incorporate  such terms and conditions in the Sale contract.  This will help to avoid future problems and disputes.   However, we suggest all exporters and importers to use as per the guidelines of ICC designed Inco Terms which may be mentioned  in the contract of carriage signed by them mutually agreed and incorporated in sale contract.

Omni Model Terms of Delivery which can be used for all modes of transport are  EXW   Ex Works

FCA  Free Carrier  ,  CPT  Carriage Paid To  ,  CIP  Carriage and Insurance Paid To  , 

DAP  Delivered at Place  ,  DPU  Delivered at Place Unloaded  ,  DDP  Delivered Duty Paid.
