Ex-works (EXW) means that the seller is responsible for making the goods available at their premises or another named place (such as a factory or warehouse). The buyer is responsible for all transportation costs, insurance, and any other expenses from that point onwards.
Carriage paid means that the seller is responsible for arranging and paying for the transportation of the goods to a specified destination. The seller is also responsible for any associated costs, such as insurance and customs duties, up to the point of delivery to the buyer.
