NEEDO · EXPORT LOGISTICS & COMMERCIAL TERMS
Choose an Incoterm for an Export Quote
Give Needo the actual shipment route, cargo, transport mode, buyer and seller capabilities, delivery point and quote or contract wording. Needo can narrow the Incoterms rules that fit the movement, compare their responsibilities and identify the named-place, insurance and document questions that must be resolved before the quote is accepted.
What to give Needo
For example: Germany, Dubai, North India — or the exact cities you can deliver to.

Need real matches, not just a direction?
Start free. When you want Needo to do the deep work, a Verified Shortlist gives you up to 10 cross-checked matches with sources, contact routes, red flags and ready-to-send outreach — and if fewer than 5 can be verified, your credits come back automatically.
What the solution should give you
A shortlist of Incoterms® 2020 rules that are suitable for the actual transport mode
A side-by-side matrix for delivery point, risk transfer, carriage, customs, loading, unloading and insurance
A named-place and rule-version wording proposal for the quote or contract
A list of operational, tax, customs, insurance and documentary questions that remain open
A reconciliation checklist for the quote, purchase order, booking and transport documents
A proceed, clarify or hold recommendation with assumptions clearly separated from verified facts
Real requests to try
Why this is different from a search list
Needo starts from the outcome, not a pile of links. It can research current evidence, compare options against your constraints, identify what still needs verification, prepare a next action and keep the problem open when real-world feedback changes the situation.
Frequently asked questions
Do Incoterms decide when ownership of the goods passes?
No. Incoterms allocate specified delivery tasks, costs and risks. Title or ownership, payment timing, quality remedies and dispute resolution must be addressed separately in the sales contract and applicable law.
Can I use FOB for any shipment that travels by sea?
No. FOB is a sea and inland-waterway rule. For containerized or multimodal cargo handed to a carrier at a terminal before vessel loading, compare FCA, CPT or CIP as appropriate to the actual delivery event.
Does CIF mean the buyer is fully insured?
No. CIF includes a seller insurance obligation with a specified default level under Incoterms® 2020. Check the actual policy, insured value, exclusions, route and any agreed higher cover.
Can Needo choose the rule and bind the buyer?
Needo can compare options and prepare wording for review. The buyer and seller must agree the term, named place and version, and obtain logistics, customs, tax or legal advice where needed.
