WHAT are incoterms?

The incoterms stand for International Commercial Terms, which specify the costs and risks of shipping, including insurance and import taxes related to an international business deal. While there are many incoterms, just a few are used in the trading of used machines. Main incoterms used by Textilian concerning used equipment:

 Exworks - The seller makes the goods available at their premises. While this usually does
not include truck loading, this can be discussed with the seller.
 LOC / LOT - stands respectively for Loaded on Container and Loaded on Truck. While these
are not proper incoterms, they notify the seller to take care of dismantling and loading the
truck or container sent by the buyer to the premises. Be sure to properly understand which
shipping resources are needed for specific types of machines (the type of container or truck).
 FCA – stands for Free Carrier. The seller takes care of the loading and delivery to a specific
location in the same country. This leaves some room for negotiation but it is usually
understood as a place close to the seller’s location.
 FOB – stands for Free on Board. The seller has to bring the machine to the nearest major
seaport and leave it at the shipping company (theoretically the ship). He also has to clear the
machine for export.
 CIF – stands for Cost, Insurance, and Freight. The seller is responsible for shipping the
machine to the main destination port, including transport insurance.
 DAP (ex DDU) – stands for Delivered at Place. The seller ships the machine all the way to
the agreed location, but does not take care of import clearance and unloading.
If you do not know which incoterm to use, please leave the field as “----”

details about the condition, the options, the maintenance, the usage and the reason
why you are selling your machines will make your listings more trustworthy

well as Google or Bing uses the content of the description to show your listings in
search results pages. The more keyword-rich and detailed will be your description,
the better your listings will rank in results

 Your machine has been subject to controversy with possible legal implications (ex. another
company is claiming that they own the machine)
 Your goods are not considered to be used industrial equipment
 Your machines are too small to be effectively sold by Textilian (ex. small parts)
 Your pricing or lack of technical details are clearly preventing any possible deal to be
reached with the potential buyers
 You are not respecting the general terms of use of Textilian. Please contact Textilian if you
have any reason to believe that machines are being deleted from your account without
reason.
