«Ex works» means that the seller delivers when he places the goods at
the disposal of the buyer at the seller's premises or another named
place (i.e. works, factory, warehouse, etc.) not cleared for export and
not loaded on any collecting vehicle.
This term thus represents the minimum
obligation for the seller, and the buyer has to bear all costs and
risks involved in taking the goods from the seller's premises However,
if the parties wish the seller to be responsible for the loading of the
goods on departure and to bear the risks and all the costs of such
loading, this should be made clear by adding explicit wording to this
effect in the contract of sale (Refer to Introduction paragraph 11.)
.This term should not be used when the buyer cannot carry out the
export formalities directly or indirectly. In such circumstances, the FCA term should be used, provided the seller agrees that he will load at his cost and risk.
