Incoterms 2020 Lookup

incoterms_lookup

Read-onlyIdempotent

Look up the 11 Incoterms 2020 trade rules — who pays for transport, insurance and customs clearance, and where risk transfers from seller to buyer. 7 rules work for any transport mode (EXW, FCA, CPT, CIP, DAP, DPU, DDP); 4 are sea/inland-waterway only (FAS, FOB, CFR, CIF).

Provide code for one rule, category (any_mode | sea_only) for a filtered list, or neither to list all 11 (a list is summary rows — code, name, category, summary — with full: true for the full rules). Behavior: read-only reference; an unknown code errors with the valid code list, and DAT — replaced in Incoterms 2020 — names its successor, DPU (ICC). Rate-limited: a limit error carries reset_at, the UTC time the allowance resets.

Returns: the rule record — name, category, summary, seller_responsibility, buyer_responsibility, risk_transfer, cost_transfer, insurance, export/import clearance, best_for and watch_out — under result, plus confidence, _source and citation (the FreightUtils v1 response envelope).

Limitations: summarised guidance on ICC Incoterms 2020; the ICC publication is the binding text and specific contract wording prevails.

Related: uk_duty_calculator (accepts an incoterm when composing the CIF value), shipment_summary (composite analysis).

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema

Name	Required	Description
`code`	No	Incoterm code (3 letters, e.g., "FOB", "CIF")
`full`	No	Lists only: true returns full records (provenance, sources, rationale) instead of summary rows. A single-record call always returns the full record.
`limit`	No	Lists only: rows per page (default: every row for summaries; 5 with full: true).
`offset`	No	Lists only: rows to skip (default 0). The response gives total and next_offset.
`category`	No	Filter by mode
