The International Commercial Terms (INCOTERMS) 2020 has been linked in clause 64 of the Furniture and Equipment: Acquisition and Maintenance policy, as well as in clause 1 of the Asset Management Atlas User Guide.

Differences between Incoterms 2010 and 2020:

- The Incoterms FCA (Free Carrier) now provides the additional option to make an on-board notation on the Bill of Lading prior loading of the goods on a vessel.

-The costs now appear centralized in A9/B9 of each Incoterms rule.

- CIP now requires at least an insurance with the minimum cover of the Institute Cargo Clause (A) (All risk, subject to itemized exclusions).

- CIF requires at least an insurance with the minimum cover of the Institute Cargo Clause (C) (Number of listed risks, subject to itemized exclusions).

- The Incoterms rules Free Carrier (FCA), Delivered at Place (DAP), Delivered at Place Unloaded (DPU) and Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) now take into account that the goods may be carried without any third-party carrier being engaged, namely by using its own means of transportation.

- The rule Delivered at Terminal (DAT) has been changed to Delivered at Place Unloaded (DPU) to clarify that the place of destination could be any place and not only a “terminal”.

- The Incoterms 2020 now explicitly shifts the responsibility of security-related requirements and ancillary costs to the seller.

The UNDP Service Request Form User Guide is now linked in clause 9 of the policy.

February 07, 2020 -

UNDP has changed its asset capitalization threshold from US $1,500 to US $5,000. This policy change will significantly reduce the volume (i.e. quantity) of assets in the asset register thereby allowing UNDP to focus attention on higher value items. The change in policy should also result in a more effective verification and certification process. The following clauses of the policy have been updated to reflect the new asset capitalization threshold: 3, 5-7; 14; 35-37; 41, 43, 46, 48; 73 and 83.

August 23, 2019 -

Following the OAI recommendation at the end of 2015, the roles and responsibilities for the Regional Bureaus were clarified in Feb 2017. Reviewed and edited (without substantive changes) in Q1 2016.
