Group E – Departure
EXW – Ex Works (named place)
The seller makes the goods available at his premises. The buyer is responsible for
all charges.
This trade term places the greatest responsibility on the buyer and minimum obligations
on the seller. The Ex Works term is often used when making an initial quotation for the
sale of goods without any costs included.
EXW means that a seller has the goods ready for collection at his premises (Works,
factory, warehouse, plant) on the date agreed upon.
The buyer pays all transportation costs and also bears the risks for bringing the goods to
their final destination.
This term requires that the buyer must be able to carry out export formalities in the
country of supply, these days almost impossible. Therefore in the vast majority of cases
where terms are quoted EXW they actually intend the seller to carry out export
formalities which means that the correct term is FCA (Seller's premises).
Group D – Arrival
