Incoterms are set by the International Chamber of Commerce and outline the responsibilities of buyers and sellers while making international transactions. Understanding the relationship between VAT and Incoterms now can prevent costs and delivery delays down the road.

In this episode of the Sovos Expert Series, Becca Taylor sits down with Andy Spencer, Director of Consulting Services at Sovos to explain how your business can overcome the challenges that incoterms provide.

Listen as he answers your most critical questions:

Question 1: Can you elaborate a bit on the Ex Works and DDP Incoterms that affect the EU specifically?

Question 2: With DDP, how would a supplier go about declaring the import into the buyer’s country? How would a buyer go about declaring the export with Ex Works?

Question 3: What challenges can companies face in both situations?

Question 4: How does Brexit affect Incoterms? Who would this affect, the buyer, seller, or both?
