exw or fca basis

exw or fca basis refers to two common Incoterms (International Commercial Terms) that define the responsibilities of buyers and sellers in international trade. EXW (Ex Works) means that the seller has fulfilled their responsibility once the goods are made available at their premises or another agreed-upon location. FCA (Free Carrier) means the seller delivers the goods to a specified carrier at an agreed location, at which point the risk and responsibility are transferred to the buyer. The choice between EXW and FCA depends on the level of responsibility each party is willing to take for shipping and logistics.
