The Confederation of Asia-Pacific Chambers of Commerce and Industry (CACCI) is proposing to organize Spring 2025 Training Sessions – in cooperation with interested Primary and Affiliate Members – consisting of three different one-day training seminars on International Trade Terms 2020 (Incoterms 2020) and related themes.

The three proposed one-day seminars are on:

(1) New Revision of the International Trade Terms (one day)
What you need to know to make your international trade deal successful based on Contract of Sale and ICC Rules Incoterms 2020

(2) Advanced Seminar on payment and security instruments in foreign trade, receivable finance, ESG and Compliance (one day)
Getting familiar with international payment and security conditions, risk, costs and their documentary requirements, including a session on compliance with focus on dual use goods, sanctions, and ESG aspects.

(3) Advanced seminar on INCOTERMS 2020 and their linkage to documentary credits (one day)
New information about use of Incoterms 2020 in relation to standard documentation and payments conditions above all documentary credits.

As the Incoterms 2020 practices continue to be updated continually since its inception in January 1, 2020, being familiar with all developments and their impact is a must in the international trade and finance world.

Interested chambers can choose from the suggested topics and preferably organize at least  two one-day courses. The programs can be adjusted according to the Chamber’s needs. For instance, there could be more comprehensive one-day course just on documentary credits and their financing, with news on some practical issues. New topics can be added or some can be deleted, more time can be allocated to practical case studies and discussions.

By attending the seminars, participants will be able to:

(1) Get a further understanding on the main aspects of contract of sale, related risks, main problematic issues;

(2) Familiarize themselves with trade terms as per Incoterms and above all with new revision Incoterms 2020 – their practical impact on international trade and finance; and

(3) Learn about the relationship of payment terms to trade terms – Incoterms 2020 and more.

CACCI recommends these training courses to bankers in trade finance, corporate specialists dealing with import/exports, bank lawyers, auditors, middle level management and related positions.
