FCA, or Free Carrier, is an international trade term defined by the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) in the Incoterms rules. FCA is more flexible than EXW and offers a bit more responsibility and risk to the seller, while still providing some advantages to the buyer.
EXW, or Ex Works, is an international trade term defined by the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) in the Incoterms rules. It specifies the responsibilities, costs, and risks associated with the delivery of goods from a seller to a buyer in an international transaction. Under EXW terms, the seller has the least amount of responsibility and the buyer has the most.
