The document discusses INCOTERMS, which define common terms in international commercial transactions. It explains several existing INCOTERMS like EXW, FCA, FOB, CFR, CIF, CIP, DAF, DES, DDU, and DDP. It notes that unofficial information suggests the number of INCOTERMS will be reduced from 13 to 10 or 11 in the 2010 version, with DAF and DDU potentially being removed and replaced by DAP. The objective is to investigate which terms could define new global trade standards.
