Incoterms® in Maritime Transportation Transactions and the DRC

Post author By DRC
Post date July 19, 2023
Sticky post

Home / Archives for DRC / Page 4

When it comes to the global trade network, there are plenty of opportunities for things to go wrong. Due to different languages and cultural barriers, buyers (importers) and sellers (exporters) can easily misunderstand one another. Unfortunately, these misunderstandings can lead to disputes.

In the past few months, the Fruit and Vegetable Dispute Resolution Corporation (DRC) has come across importers who were either unfamiliar with Incoterms® or how to use them correctly, especially first-time importers.

What are Incoterms, and why are they important for international trade?

International commercial terms (Incoterms) provide a universal set of rules and guidelines that help facilitate a successful trade. The International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) created and published Incoterms to set clear-cut rules that outline how sellers and buyers should conduct themselves during the exporting/importing process.

Incoterms are used in many ways to facilitate a smooth and easy trade. Of primary importance, each term clarifies the tasks, costs, and risks to be borne by buyers and sellers in these transactions. Among the things that Incoterms brings is the clarification of each party’s financial and legal responsibilities, an essential advantage during international trade.

Some things the buyer or seller might be responsible for based on the Incoterms they use include are:
• Insurance
• Proper documentation
• Customs clearance
• Shipping costs
• Risk of Transit

Familiarity with Incoterms will help improve smoother transactions by clearly defining who is responsible for what in each step of the transaction.

The Incoterms Insurance and the DRC

While it is important to understand that the Incoterms are part of the contract, the Incoterms are not in themselves a contract of sale. Incoterms do not deal with whether the other conditions of the contract are met or not or the law of dispute resolution in the event of a breach of contract.

Unless otherwise agreed, DRC members must follow DRC’s Trading Standards, Transportation Standards, and other guidelines. Therefore, a DRC member, regardless of their Incoterms insurance obligations, must first prove a breach of contract following DRC’s Operating Rules or the written contract prior to the application of the insurance.

For example, when using the Cost Insurance and Freight (CIF) Incoterms, the seller is required to buy cargo insurance with the buyer as the beneficiary and share that policy with the buyer. In the event of a maritime transportation claim, since the risk of transit under this term falls with the buyer, it is up to the buyer to invoke the insurance to make the proper claim against the shipping line. If the insurance bought by the seller does not have the buyer as the beneficiary, the payment of the transaction may be jeopardized.

We strongly recommend that when negotiating a transaction with product shipped by maritime transportation, both parties dedicate some time to discuss the Incoterms to ensure that the buyer and their supplier understand what the right Incoterms are for them. Transparency and agreement are essential in establishing the rights and responsibilities of all parties. Lack of agreement and confusion over terms may not only cost you money, but valuable trading partners as well.

Changes to the Canadian Grade Compendium: Volume 2 – Fresh Fruit or Vegetables

Home / Archives for DRC / Page 4

On July 7, 2023, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) published a notice informing the fresh produce industry of changes to the Canadian Grade Compendium: Volume 2 – Fresh Fruit or Vegetables.

These changes reflect feedback received from industry, trading partners, and stakeholders, during the consultation period covering:

• A new standard for greenhouse miniature seedless cucumbers.
• Updates to the grades and requirements for greenhouse long seedless cucumbers, including changes to size requirements and clarifications to terminology for defects and tolerances.

The modified and new standards are found in the following:
• Part 2 Grade Requirements for Fresh Vegetables.
• Grades and Requirements for Greenhouse Long Seedless Cucumbers, paragraphs 148-154.
• Grades and Requirements for Greenhouse Miniature Seedless Cucumbers, paragraphs 200-206.

The CFIA is committed to providing industry with sufficient time to adjust product grading and labels. The transition period begins July 7, 2023, when this change came into force, and ends on January 6, 2024.

As of January 7, 2024, the previous grade requirements will cease to apply, and all regulated parties must comply with the new requirements.

Consult the notice to industry to learn more.

Questions or concerns can be sent to [email protected].

The DRC extends its thanks and appreciation to members of the fresh produce industry review team and other industry stakeholders who contributed to reviewing the existing grade standard and the development of the new grade standard for mini cucumbers. Publication of an updated standard for greenhouse tomatoes is expected in the coming months.

What Triggers the Fruit & Vegetable Dispute Resolution Corporation’s (DRC’s) Bonding Policy?

Post author By DRC
Post date June 27, 2023
Sticky post

Home / Archives for DRC / Page 4

Any membership applicant, current member, or a Responsibly Connected Person, who fail to meet the conditions outlined in the DRC’s Operating Rules may be subject to the DRC’s bonding policy.

The DRC bonding policy requires that bonds or other forms of financial security be provided as an assurance to the membership that the entity posting the security will conduct under the DRC’s By-laws & Operating Rules. Depending on the circumstances, a bond may be posted by an applicant, a member, a responsibly connected person in respect of a member, or an employee of a member.

These are the most common circumstances that may trigger DRC to request financial security:

Membership applicants which:
• Have a CFIA Food safety license issued under the Safe Food for Canadians Regulations (SFCR) or a PACA license revoked or suspended within the last five years from the day a membership application is submitted.
• Have been terminated with cause or expelled from membership in the DRC within the last five years from the day a membership application is submitted.
• Have failed to comply with an arbitration award or a mediated agreement within the last five years from the day a membership application is submitted.
• Have filed for bankruptcy or suspended the payment of debts within the last five years from the day a membership application is submitted.
• Have suspended the operations of a business without fully meeting its financial obligations within the last ten years from the day a membership application is submitted.

Members which:
• Have failed to comply with an arbitration agreement or mediated agreement.
• Have failed to comply with DRC Trading Standards General Rules of Conduct.

If a member who has posted financial security violates a provision of DRC’s By-laws and Operating Rules during the bonding period, the DRC may distribute the funds, as provided in the Security Agreement between the member and the DRC.

For more information about the DRC’s Bonding Policy, call 1.613.234.0982 or submit an inquiry through our Help Desk General Inquiry form.

Canada’s Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Grade Standards – Beyond the Obvious.

Post author By DRC
Post date June 23, 2023
Sticky post

Home / Archives for DRC / Page 4

The DRC continues to work toward the modernization of Canadian Grade Compendium: Volume 2 – Fresh Fruit or Vegetables (Compendium) in collaboration with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, and industry.

The grade standards are the lexicon, or recognized language, for describing fruit and vegetable commodities and associated defects. This common lexicon is necessary for federal inspectors, private inspection firms (i.e., insurance adjustors, marine surveyors), buyers, sellers, and others to communicate in a common language.

The Compendium establishes expectations for arrival condition given that fresh fruit and vegetables are generally purchased unseen. Grade standards are the basis for establishing a breach of contract and are an essential business-to-business tool. The Canadian and US fruit and vegetable grade standards are foundational to the DRC’s Good Arrival Guidelines and Trading Standards, which serve to establish evidence in the mediation and arbitration of trade disputes.

For vendors who have contracts with their respective buyers with specific acceptance requirements, it is important to keep in mind that the specifications outlined in those agreements generally far exceed the standards contained in the Compendium. The Compendium outlines the minimum requirements and are intended to serve the entire supply chain. Grade standards also provide a measure of consumer confidence.

Growers, shippers, and packers who may not have quality-related vendor contracts rely on the Compendium as their point of reference to meet grade. For small/medium/enterprises (SMEs) and new entrants to the produce industry in particular, the grade standards and associated CFIA quality inspection manuals are their sole guides. Private contracts and the Compendium are not in competition with each other.

Grade standards are important because they serve as Canada’s minimum import requirements for the fruit and vegetable grade standards found in Compendium. In other words, products subject to grade standards coming into Canada must meet those grade standards. In the absence of Canada’s grade standards, there would be no minimum import requirements. Under certain circumstances, this could present opportunities for various types of market disruption. When considering the importance of the grade standards, this trade-related aspect is generally not top of mind and must not be overlooked.

The Automated Import Reference System (AIRS) is a reference tool that shows the import requirements for Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) regulated commodities.

If you are planning on importing fresh fruits and vegetables into Canada or are an exporter intending to export fresh fruits and vegetables to Canada, CFIA-AIRS will provide you with the requirements that a Canadian company must comply with in order for that product or commodity to be able to enter Canada. A few of these requirements are:

• Dispute Resolution Corporation Membership, unless exempted
• CFIA Safe Food for Canadians License
• Electronic Date Interchange (EDI) – Integrated Import Declaration (IID) or Confirmation of Sale (COS) – Government form
• Labeling
• Phytosanitary if applicable
