A set of rules defining the terms of sale. EXW EX Works (ex-works) – means that the seller delivers the goods at the disposal of the buyer (for example, in a factory or warehouse), and the place of delivery does not have to be the seller’s premises. However, it is recommended that the parties specify as precisely as possible a specific point within the designated place of delivery. In order for delivery to take place under this rule, the seller does not have to load the goods onto any receiving vehicle or clear the goods in export, if such clearance is applicable.

Once the goods have been delivered to the buyer in this way, the seller does not guarantee that the goods will arrive at the place, they will be in good condition and in the indicated quantity, because the risk passes from the seller to the buyer when the goods are delivered to the carrier.
