  • incoterm globe

    The World Trade Center is partnering with Unz & Co. to present a full day Incoterms seminar on October 19 at the Heritage Hills Conference Center in York, PA. Incoterms-2010 will become effective on January 1, 2011 and the changes have been called both sweeping and practical.

    This in‐depth seminar will not only explore the changes in Incoterms, but will provide a complete understanding of the purpose, use and application of all the rules. For international buyers and sellers the proper use of these rules in sales and purchase contracts is critical!
    Experienced professionals will get an intensive overview of the new rules, while those new to the industry will receive a crash course on Incoterms, jumpstarting their knowledge base.
