thecontractingguy Posted April 20, 2017 Report Share Posted April 20, 2017 Does anyone have some insight into shipping terms for supplies that vendors quote on? Example include shipping terms, EX Work, Delivery Duty Paid (DDP), Delivery at Point (DAP), etc. I get confused on this as the FAR does not touch on these and some vendors will not change to one of the FAR shipping terms.

Neil Roberts Posted April 20, 2017 Report Share Posted April 20, 2017 Sounds like your suppliers are shipping from outside the U.S or its possessions. These shipping terms are complicated and include customs, duties, taxes and liability for loss. The standard for such shipping is INCO terms (International Chamber of Commerce). Specific terms such as you are seeking, are defined therein. But, you will probably need to do Google research on the plain meaning of the given definition.

thecontractingguy Posted April 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2017 I would like what has been done by some when they run into international shipments with shipping terms that are not found in the FAR i.e. EX Works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Vern Edwards Posted April 20, 2017 Report Share Posted April 20, 2017 In other words, you want to know how the government evaluates quotes or proposals that are based on such terms? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
