     <p><strong>EXW (Ex Works)<\/strong> is an Incoterms\u00ae rule under which the seller delivers by placing the goods at the buyer\u2019s disposal at an agreed named place\u2014commonly the seller\u2019s factory or warehouse\u2014on the agreed date or within the agreed period.<\/p>\r\n      <p>The seller is not required under the EXW rule to load the collecting vehicle, arrange carriage or clear the goods for export. Risk normally transfers to the buyer when the goods are made available at the precisely named place and point, before loading.<\/p>\r\n      <p>For an international buyer purchasing from a Chinese supplier, <strong>EXW shipping from China<\/strong> therefore commonly requires buyer-side coordination for <a href=\"https:\/\/brf-logistics.com\/china-pick-up\/\">factory pickup in China<\/a>, loading arrangements, export formalities, sea or air freight, destination customs and final delivery.<\/p>\r\n      <div class=\"brf-exw-alert\"><strong>Name the exact delivery point.<\/strong> Write the complete factory or warehouse address and the specific loading point where possible\u2014for example: \u201cEXW [full factory address], Qingdao, China, Incoterms\u00ae 2020.\u201d A city name alone can leave pickup cost and risk unclear.<\/div>\r\n      <p class=\"brf-exw-source\">Rules reference: <a href=\"https:\/\/iccwbo.org\/business-solutions\/incoterms-rules\/incoterms-2020\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ICC Incoterms\u00ae 2020<\/a>.
