The obligations of the seller / exporter end when the merchandise is made available to the buyer / importer at its facilities, at which time all expenses pass to the buyer, the former being exempt from all responsibility, both for the cargo of the merchandise and of export customs procedures. Mode of transport: Multipurpose.

The term EXW implies minimal obligations, however, by not controlling customs clearance, we may have difficulties in obtaining the documents that justify the export. These documents (DUA) are necessary to justify the operation and not have problems with the treasury at the tax level (IGV or VAT).

Therefore, I advise using EXW in operations between countries of the same economic or customs union (European Union) or between states or regions of a country where there are no customs procedures; or where the transport is Courier type (the package is normally loaded by the same carrier in his vehicle because it is usually small).
