国际贸易术语解释通则2010前言（中英对照版） Foreword By Rajat Gupta，ICC Cbairman The global economy has given businessbroader access than ever before to markets all over the world. Goods are soldin more countries，in large quantities, and in greater variety. But as the volume andcomplexity of global sales increase, so do possibilities for misunderstandingsand costly disputes when sale contracts are not adequately drafted. The Incoterms? rules, the ICC rules on theuse of domestic and international trade terms, facilitate the conduct of globaltrade. Reference to an Icoterms 2010 rule in a sale contract clearly defines the parties' respective obligationsand reduces the risk of legal complications. Since the creation of the Incoterms rulesby ICC in 1936, this globally accepted contractual standard has been regularlyupdated to keep pace with the development of international trade. The Incoterms2010 rules take account of the continued spread of customs-free zones, the increaseduse of electronic communications in business transactions, heightened concernabout security in the movement of goods and consolidates in transportpractices. Incoterms2010 updates and consolidates the 'delivered' rules, reducing the total number of rules from 13to 11, and offers a simpler and clearer presentation of all the rules.Incoterms 2010 is also the first version of the Incoterms rules to make allreferences to buyers and sellers gender-neutral. The broad expertise of ICC's Commission onCommercial Law and Practice, whose membership is drawn from all parts of theworld and all trade sectors, ensures that the Incoterms 2010 rules respond tobusiness needs everywhere. 前言 国际商会主席 Rajat Gupta 全球经济一体化让生意的接触面比以往任何时候都宽广，可以触及世界每个角落。更多品种的货物可供选择、卖向更多国家、卖得也越来越多。然而，随着全球贸易数额的增加和贸易复杂性的加强,因贸易合同起草不恰当而带来的误解和高代价争端也可能随之增加。 国际贸易术语解释通则，国际商会规则在国内和国际贸易用语的使用促进了全球贸易的进行。在贸易合同中引用国际贸易术语解释通则2010可明确界定各方义务并降低法律纠纷产生的风险。 自从1936年国际商会制定出国际贸易术语解释通则之后，此项在全球范围内被采用的合同标准就经常性地更新换代，与国际贸易的发展步调一致。国际贸易术语解释通则2010考虑了免税贸易区的不断增加，电子沟通在商务中的不断增多，以及被更加重视的货物运输中的安
