International trade & transport

International trade and transport encompass the movement of goods and services acrossborders, necessitating efficient logistics and compliance with diverse regulations. Incoterms (International Commercial Terms) play a pivotal role indefining responsibilities and liabilities for buyers and sellers during shipment, clarifying risk transfer, insurance, and transportation costs. However, challenges arise for shippers in dealing with distinct legal systems within the EU and the UK, compounded by changes post-Brexit.
