📦 Who is responsible under EXW delivery terms?

EXW (Ex Works) is one of the most commonly used Incoterms® rules—but also one of the most misunderstood.

Many businesses assume that once the goods are ready for collection, the rest is straightforward. In reality, EXW places almost all responsibilities and risks on the buyer, including transport arrangements, export customs formalities, and the risk during loading in many situations.

Before agreeing to EXW in your next international shipment, make sure you understand exactly what you're responsible for.

In our latest article, we explain:
✅ What EXW means under Incoterms® 2020
✅ When the risk transfers from seller to buyer
✅ Who is responsible for export customs clearance
✅ Seller's and buyer's obligations
✅ When FCA may be a better alternative

🚛 ELO becomes mandatory from April 20, 2026

From that date, you will not be able to cross the France–UK border without an ELO.

What does it mean in practice?

👉 one barcode = all declarations
👉 no ELO = your truck may be stopped

ELO includes:
✔️ export / transit (EU → UK)
✔️ import / transit + ENS (UK → EU)

It also aims to solve a major industry issue:
❗ missing export confirmations (IE599 / now CC599)
