Terms and Conditions of Export
These Standard Terms and Conditions of Export Sales are designed for use by a UK supplier selling goods to an overseas business customer (including within the EU).
The terms are designed to give the seller comprehensive legal protection and to regulate the legal relationship between buyer and seller. The template should be adapted where necessary to meet the seller’s particular needs and circumstances.
Incoterms-based drafting for internationally recognised delivery concepts
Certain expressions used in this template are defined in Incoterms (as published by the International Chamber of Commerce).
The template provides that the standardised and internationally recognised Incoterms definitions apply to those expressions where they appear in this document.
Use this template for export sales, not UK-only supply
If you are selling to a UK business customer for UK delivery, see Sale of Goods Terms and Conditions (B2B).
If the export supply involves a combination of hardware, software and related services (for example installation or support), see Hardware and Software Supply Terms and Conditions (B2B).
