EXW

Incoterms

Ex Works

The buyer collects the goods from the seller's premises and handles everything from there, including export clearance.

In practice

Minimum obligation for the seller. The buyer's forwarder arranges pick-up, export permit, freight, and import. In practice the seller often helps load and clear export anyway, which is why FCA is usually the better term for international sales.

Seen in the wild

Price is EXW Tuas factory. Buyer to arrange collection and export permit.

Watch out

Under EXW the seller is not obliged to load the truck or do export clearance. Many shippers assume otherwise.
