Combiterms is a Swedish supplement to Incoterms used in Sweden. What is Incoterms?Incoterms (International commerce terms) are a set of international trade terms on how goods transport costs and responsibilities should be distributed between buyer and seller. They are fundamental in international trade transactions and cover matters relating to deliveries between buyers and sellers. This includes how the goods are to be transported, who pays for what, import and export clearance, and who bears the risk at different parts of the journey. What is Combiterms?Combiterms (combined delivery terms) are a set of Swedish trade terms developed by the Swedish Transport Industry Association. Combiterms is not an independent set of rules for delivery conditions, but is used as a supplement to Incoterms to better clarify who is responsible for certain costs, and for which distances. They offer guidance on Incoterms delivery terms and cost headings with the associated three-digit code. Combiterm's main function is to combine the delivery terms with a clear system for the distribution of costs between buyers and sellers. What is DDU?DDU (Delivered Duties Unpaid) is an incoterm which means that the seller delivers the goods when they are available, not unloaded, not cleared for import at the specified location. The seller is responsible for all costs and risks until then with the exception of customs handling. The term can be used regardless of the mode of transport. The transport document, the transport risk and the cost of the goods transport are transferred when the goods are at the buyer's disposal at the place specified by the buyer. This incoterm was abandoned in 2011-01-01. What is DDP?DDP (Delivered duty paid) is an incoterm which means that the seller hands over the goods once they have been imported and placed at the disposal of the buyer on the arriving means of transport, ready for unloading at the specified destination. The seller bears all costs and risks associated with transporting the goods to the specified place and shall clear the goods not only for export but also for import, pay all duties for export and import and complete all customs formalities. What is DAP?DAP (Delivered at place) is an incoterm which means that the seller hands over the goods when they are placed at the disposal of the buyer on the arriving means of transport, ready for unloading at the specified destination. The seller bears all the risks associated with transporting the goods to the specified place. What is EXW?EXW (Ex Works) is an incoterm which means that the seller puts the goods at the disposal of the buyer on the seller's land or territory such as a factory or warehouse. The seller does not export the goods and it is not loaded on any transport vehicle. EXW means minimal liability for the seller . The transport document, the transport risk and the cost of the goods transport are transferred to the seller's territory. What is CPT?CPT (Carriage Paid To) is an Incoterm that means freight paid to specified destination. This means that the seller takes care of the export and transport of the goods to the specified destination. The seller must inform the buyer when the goods have been delivered and send out an invoice and possibly other documents that have been agreed upon. The risk passes to the buyer when the goods have been handed over to the first carrier. The buyer handles the import of the goods. Any insurance is taken out by the buyer. What is fob?FOB (free on board) is a term in international commercial law specifying at what point respective obligations, costs, and risk involved in the delivery of goods shift from the seller to the buyer under the Incoterms standard published by the International Chamber of Commerce. FOB is only used in non-containerized sea freight or inland waterway transport. As with all Incoterms, FOB does not define the point at which ownership of the goods is transferred. How do I get compensation for damaged or lost goods?If the goods should disappear or damage occurs during shipping, you need report this as soon as possible to obtain the possibility of damages. If the shipping is purchased on Fraktjakt's shipping contracts, our customer service can help you conduct a complaint process against the shipping company. For freight purchased against own shipping contracts you need to contact the shipping companies directly. Complaints can take up to 3 months to be processed by the carrier. For export freight may take a little longer as recipient countries must respond to the notification made from Sweden. A supplementary insurance does not guarantee that compensation is always paid if the accident should occur and an injury occurs. The complaint (damage) must first be approved by the carrier for such a supplement to apply and compensation can be paid. What are the terms for the commodity insurance?
Fraktjakt's shipping insurance provides comprehensive protection. If you have not used Fraktjakt's shipping insurance, your shipment will be uninsured. If there is no insurance, the carrier's limited coverage applies.

What does box post number mean?A box postcode is a postcode for a postbox facility. The box postcode indicates the geographic area in which the box facility is located. Box plus a number is entered as the delivery address in the postal address.

Major Client Postal Codes can be assigned at the initiative of the postal operator to customers in metropolitan areas with a large number of daily shipments. It provides an easier rationalization of shipping. The own postcodes may only be used for letters. Major Client Postal Codes do not work for parcel services, which are distributed and acknowledged at the customer's delivery address. Addresses using Major Client Postal Codes are entered without a delivery address, as they do not precisely define the addressee's geographical position.

A commercial invoice is used to describe goods that are exported for sale and is an important part of the clearance process where customs authorities classify goods so that customs duties and taxes can be assessed correctly.
All shipments to countries outside the European Union (EU) require customs documents, so also within the EU Customs Union, such as Cyprus, Greece, Malta, and Hungary, as well as areas outside the EU excise areas such as Åland and the Canary Islands, under certain conditions. Correct and complete information on a commercial invoice is very important to get fast and problem-free customs processing. Most shipping companies require a commercial invoice in three copies, all individually signed. Two copies, you put a place pocket attached to the outside of the goods and a copy that you put inside the goods.

The signature does not have to be original and in Fraktjakt you can upload your signature so that it is filled in automatically. What is a Proforma Invoice?

Commodity codes (also called tariff codes, taric codes and hs codes) are usually not required, but speeds up and improves the customs process which enables a faster delivery and may avoid unnecessary charges or that your shipments get completely stuck or refused in customs.
The commodity codes are based on The Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System, an international system that more than 200 countries use as a basis for customs purposes and trade statistics. The first four digits are called HS numbers, the first six are called HS subheadings. In addition to HS numbers and sub-numbers, we in the EU have increased the figures to eight. These eight-digit commodity codes are called the "combined nomenclature" and are the EU tariff to be used for classification. The EU has built on the combined nomenclature with a tariff called Taric. Taric consists of ten-digit commodity codes. This makes it possible to link provisions on, for example, anti-dumping, licensing and suspension of duties with the combined nomenclature. As an importer or exporter, you are responsible for ensuring that your goods are correctly classified. This also applies if you hire a representative who makes the declaration. If you have declared an incorrect product code, it may mean that you have had to pay too little or too much in customs or that an import permit may be required for the product.https://www.tullverket.se/eng/business/taricthecustomstariff With our Intelligent commodity templates you can supplement your shipments with correct item codes automatically, by either retrieving information from previous shipments and thus learning and automatically creating new templates from previous shipments or manually adding the information you want to complete future shipments with.
