Incoterms® 2020 Guide for Products
Precision in Risk & Responsibility: Our Incoterms® 2020 Framework
In the high-stakes global petroleum and minerals market, clarity in the transfer of risk, cost, and responsibility is non-negotiable. At Edrisco Holding, we strictly adhere to the Incoterms® 2020 standards established by the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC). This ensures seamless transitions in the supply chain, minimizing legal ambiguity and maximizing operational efficiency for our global energy partners.
Logistics & Risk Framework: Energy vs. Industrial Minerals

Mode of Transport & Operational Strategy

Petroleum & Energy: Our energy logistics are primarily centered on Maritime Tanker operations and Pipeline infrastructure. We prioritize high-volume liquid transport efficiency, ensuring strict adherence to maritime safety and loading regulations. Minerals & Industrial Products: We utilize a Multimodal Logistics Strategy. Because mineral shipments often require a mix of Rail, Road, and Sea, we ensure seamless transitions between these modes, optimizing delivery timelines and minimizing handling risks across complex supply chains.

Point of Transfer & Operational Precision

Petroleum & Energy: Risk transfer is managed at the terminal, pipeline, or ship-loading point. Our protocols focus on precision in Volume, Temperature, and Pressure (VTP), which are critical to maintaining the specifications of liquid bulk products during the transfer of risk. Minerals & Industrial Products: For solids and minerals, risk transfer is synchronized with Load-out Accuracy. Our primary focus is on verifiable Tonnage (Weight) and Grade Purity at the point of loading (crusher, stockpile, or conveyor belt), ensuring the buyer receives exactly what was specified at the point of risk transition.

Commodity Handling & Containment

Petroleum & Energy: Handled exclusively as Bulk Liquid. Our infrastructure ensures that every stage of transport meets strict bulk storage standards to prevent contamination and maintain product stability. Minerals & Industrial Products: These commodities require flexible Containment Solutions. Depending on the product specification, we manage logistics ranging from Loose Bulk (for large industrial shipments) to Unitized Packaging (using certified Jumbo Bags or Pallets). We adapt our handling protocols to the specific physical properties and industry requirements of each mineral product.

Cold Chain & Environmental Integrity

The Approach: For perishable commodities, selecting the right Incoterm is not just about the “point of transfer”—it is about maintaining control over the transit environment. Our Protocol: We prioritize logistical terms (such as CPT or DAP) that allow Edrisco to maintain end-to-end control of the Cold Chain. From refrigerated container monitoring to humidity-controlled transport, we ensure that the “nutritional integrity” and “freshness” of our produce are preserved from origin to your facility.

Sanitary & Phytosanitary (SPS) Compliance

The Approach: In the agri-food sector, delivery is not complete until regulatory hurdles are cleared. Our Protocol: We harmonize our logistical risk transfer with SPS certification milestones. We guarantee that every shipment is backed by the necessary documentation (Phytosanitary Certificates, Health Certs) synchronized with the shipment timeline. We bridge the gap between “physical delivery” and “regulatory acceptance,” ensuring your goods clear customs without administrative delays.

Perishability & Time-Sensitive Delivery

The Approach: In agriculture, time is the ultimate value factor. Our Protocol: We optimize our logistics to minimize transit lead times. By utilizing real-time monitoring and expedited multimodal routes, we mitigate the risks associated with shelf-life degradation. We define our logistics strategy to reduce handling frequency, which is critical for protecting the physical quality of delicate agricultural goods.
