Our standard terms for orders is EXW (Inco definition = Ex. Works)
30% deposit with order (unless agreed in advance) Balance prior to shipping or collection from premises
INCO Definitions
EXW (Ex Works)
Ex means from. Works means factory, mill or warehouse, which is the seller's premises. EXW applies to goods available only at the seller's premises.
Buyer is responsible for loading the goods on truck or container at the seller's premises, and for the subsequent costs and risks.
In practice, it is not uncommon that the seller loads the goods on truck or container at the seller's premises without charging loading fee.
In the quotation, indicate the named place (seller's premises) after the acronym EXW, for example EXW Kobe and EXW San Antonio.
The term EXW is commonly used between the manufacturer (seller) and export-trader (buyer), and the export-trader resells on other
trade terms to the foreign buyers. Some manufacturers may use the term Ex Factory, which means the same as Ex Works.
CRF (Cost & Freight - Formerly C&F)
The delivery of goods to the named port of destination (discharge) at the seller's expense.
Buyer is responsible for the cargo insurance and other costs and risks. The term CFR was formerly written as C&F.

example CFR Karachi and CFR Alexandria.
Under the rules of the INCOTERMS 1990, the term Cost and Freight is used for ocean freight only.
However, in practice, the term Cost and Freight (C&F) is still commonly used in the air freight.
CIF (Cost, Insurance & Freight)
The cargo insurance and delivery of goods to the named port of destination (discharge) at the seller's expense.
Buyer is responsible for the import customs clearance and other costs and risks.
In the export quotation, indicate the port of destination (discharge) after the acronym CIF, for example CIF Pusan and CIF Singapore.

Answer -
Exports sales make up over 90-95% of our core business and as such we are well versed in the processes involved in the shipping of
vehicles and equipment round the world.
It is necessary for most exports to require an Export Licence as issued by BIS (Department for Business, Innovation & Skills).
In particular it is necessary for customers purchasing ex. military vehicles to apply for an export licence being
specific to the items being exported if the items are being exported from the U.K.
The video below has been produced by BIS to aid customer's in understanding how important it is to have the correct export
licence (where applicable) for Surplus Military Vehicles and Equipment.
Goods listed on our website as "NLR - No Licence Required are either civilian machines or have been deemed by BIS as not
requiring a licence by virtue of having submitted either a rating or an application for a licence.
Any surplus military vehicle which is considered to be "Specially Designed for Military Use" must be shipped on
a "Standard Individual Export Licence (SIEL)" .
Firstly when applying for an export licence, customers need to complete what is called an End User Agreement,
a copy of which can be downloaded using one of the links below and which incorporates a checklist to aid in it's completion.
Once that has been completed simply submit it back to our office on letterheaded paper (if available) if we are applying
for the licence on your behalf or submit it to BIS if you are applying independently for the licence using the spire system.
Export licence applications generally take between 3-6 weeks to be processed and approved.
IMPORTANT NOTICE:
Some countries are under an EU embargo and as such will not be granted an export licence unless it can be proven that the
vehicles are for Humanitarian Aid Support e.g. UN Aid Work.
For more information on EU Embargoed Countries.....
Go To The BIS Website
Answer - A licence once granted is valid for 2 years or until it is exhausted i.e. all
goods stated are shipped or it expires or is revoked due
to changes in the status of the destination concerned e.g. EU/NATO sanctions come into force.
Answer -Completing the End User Document
For information on how to complete the end user document, give our office a call.
To download a copy of the End User Forms use the link provided below.
Answer - It depends on whether you are buying and or shipping Military or Civilian vehicles and equipment.

to the FAQ "Export Licences

Answer -
The Incoterms rules or International Commercial terms are a series of
pre-defined commercial terms published by the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) widely
used in international commercial transactions.
A series of three-letter trade terms related to common sales practices, the Incoterms rules
are intended primarily to clearly communicate the tasks, costs and risks associated
with the transportation and delivery of goods.
The Incoterms rules are accepted by governments, legal authorities and practitioners
worldwide for the interpretation of most commonly used terms in international trade.
They are intended to reduce or remove altogether uncertainties arising from different
interpretation of the rules in different countries.
First published in 1936, the Incoterms rules have been periodically updated, with the
eighth version Incoterms 2010 having been published on January 1, 2011

Answer - If you wish to drive a vehicle over 3.5 tonnes, you require a HGV Licence.
You cannot use your regular full driver's licence (Category B) to do this. It is illegal and your licence can be taken away.
Instead, you will need to acquire one of the following categories: C, C+E, C1 and C1+E.
Answer - HGV stands for Heavy Goods Vehicle and LGV stands for Large Goods Vehicle.
They both refer to the same type of vehicle. I.e. vehicles that are more than 3.5 tonnes.
Such vehicles include trucks and lorries.
Answer - To be eligible for a HGV Licence, you need to have a full Driving Licence (Category B).
The HGV Licence enables you to operate larger vehicles (above 3.5 tonnes) in the following categories: C, C+E, C1 and C1+E.
You will require additional training which builds on your existing driving skills.
Answer - Please Find the right phone number, email or
postal address to contact DVLA about driving licences, vehicle tax, medical enquiries and vehicle registration.
