b) Incoterms, short for International Commercial Terms, are pre-defined commercial terms published by the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC). They are used in international commercial transactions or procurement processes. The C, D, E, and F categories of Incoterms are as follows:

- C Terms (Carriage): This category includes CFR (Cost and Freight), CIF (Cost, Insurance, and Freight), CPT (Carriage Paid To), and CIP (Carriage and Insurance Paid To). These terms require the seller to arrange for the carriage of goods by sea to a port of destination and provide the buyer with the documents necessary to obtain the goods from the carrier.

- D Terms (Delivered): This category includes DAP (Delivered At Place), DPU (Delivered at Place Unloaded), and DDP (Delivered Duty Paid). These terms require the seller to bear all costs and risks needed to bring the goods to the location of destination and make them available for unloading.

- E Terms (Ex Works): This term requires the seller to make the goods available for collection at their premises. The buyer is responsible for all transportation costs and risks from that point onwards.

- F Terms (Free): This category includes FCA (Free Carrier), FAS (Free Alongside Ship), and FOB (Free on Board). These terms require the seller to deliver the goods to a specified place, usually a shipping port. The buyer is responsible for loading the goods onto the ship and all costs and risks from that point onwards.

d) The risks and responsibilities under each Incoterm are as follows:

- C Terms: The seller is responsible for arranging carriage and for delivering the goods, cleared for export, to the carrier. However, risk transfers from seller to buyer once the goods have been loaded on the ship.

- D Terms: The seller is responsible for all costs and risks until the goods are available for unloading by the buyer. The buyer is responsible for unloading the goods and any further costs after unloading.

- E Terms: The seller is only responsible for making the goods available at their premises. The buyer assumes all risks and costs associated with the transport of goods from that point onwards.

- F Terms: The seller is responsible for delivering the goods to a specified place. The buyer assumes all risks and costs from that point onwards, including loading the goods onto the ship.
