EXW ("Ex Works") (abbreviated from the English Ex Works letters from the place of work; German - ab Werk), the Russian "self-pickup" is also used, which means that the seller delivers when he places the goods at the disposal of the buyer on his premises or in another agreed place (i.e. in the enterprise, warehouse, etc.). The seller is not obliged to load the goods onto any vehicle, nor is he obliged to comply with the formalities required for export, if any.

Parties are encouraged to most accurately determine the point at the named place of delivery, as well as the fact that up to this point the costs and risks lie with the seller. The buyer bears all costs and risks associated with the adoption of the goods at the agreed point (if specified) to the named place of delivery.

EXW imposes minimal obligations on the seller. This term should be used with caution because:

  1. the seller has no obligation to the buyer to load the goods, although in fact the seller is in a better position to do so. If the seller actually loads the goods, he does so at the buyer's expense and risk. In cases where the seller is in a better position to load the goods, it is usually appropriate to use the term FCA (Free carrier), which obliges the seller to load at his own risk and expense.
  2. to a buyer purchasing goods from a seller for export on terms EXW (Free of charge), it should be borne in mind that the seller is only obliged to provide the buyer with such assistance that he may need for this: the seller is not obliged to organize the implementation of customs formalities for export (customs clearance for export). Therefore, the buyer is not advised to use the term EXW (Free of charge), if it cannot directly or indirectly ensure the fulfillment of customs formalities for export.
  3. the buyer has limited obligations to provide the seller with any information regarding the export of the goods. However, the seller may need such information, for example, for tax purposes or for business reporting.

EXW  these are the simplest conditions for the seller and at the same time the most difficult for the buyer, in terms of labor intensity and complexity of the organization. But at the same time, the price of the goods will be the most preferable for the purchase, which means that there is an opportunity for additional income.
In general, if the buyer is familiar with the features of the product itself, its behavior during transportation, has a reliable "local" forwarder confident in the reliability of the seller, it makes sense to save money.

Learn what you need to do when choosing EXW Close the list of actions for EXW
  • to clarify in detail the parameters and characteristics of packages (including marking), which is necessary for the subsequent customs clearance of goods;
  • taking into account the characteristics of packages and the peculiarities of transportation of goods, determine the type of vehicle;
  • specify the scope of delivery, preferably a multiple of the volume of the vehicle that the buyer must submit for loading (wagon, vehicle, container, etc.);
  • agree with the seller on the exact delivery address of the goods;
  • agree on the time frame for submitting a vehicle for loading;
  • negotiate in advance with the seller, by whose forces the goods will be loaded. It is necessary to take into account the fact that even if the loading is carried out by the seller, then if there are no special clauses in the contract, the risks of loss or damage fall on the buyer. Therefore, the parties must agree with each other and make a note in the agreement "with loading at the risk of the seller" or "with loading at the risk of the buyer";
  • determine with your reliable and "local" forwarder the list of necessary documents for the export of goods from the country and, depending on the legislation of the country of export, ask the forwarder or seller who prepares which documents;
  • find out with the seller the parameters of receiving the goods in qualitative and quantitative terms, including agreeing on the delivery and acceptance documents, issue clear instructions to your forwarder if he accepts the goods;
  • agree on the terms of insurance with insurance companies, if necessary;
  • pay customs charges for importing goods;
  • to carry out customs clearance of goods;

Of course, this list is not complete and depends on the specific case, but, under these delivery conditions, the buyer's logisticians can prove themselves most influential and bring additional profit using intermodal transportation.
