It is important to modify the Incoterm along the process chain. You may offer a product EXW, then get the order, offer three pro forma invoices with EXW, FOB, and CIF so the client can decide which term to go for according to convenience or price. Then you create the final invoice, where you have to declare different Incoterm values because almost all customs authorities world wide need the 'border-crossing value' to be declared. So FCA Brussels could be 1,000.00 Euro and CIF New York can be 1,300.00 Euro. Both values need to be declared in the invoice. Has your design included this? Cheers, Denis
