Oversized load (Incoterms)

Quelle: https://iccwbo.org/resources-for-business/incoterms/

An oversized load within the context of Incoterms refers to a shipment whose dimensions, weight or volume exceed standard limits and therefore require special permits, route planning, escort vehicles, or additional costs. Incoterms only govern responsibilities and cost allocation between seller and buyer; handling an oversized load typically requires extra contractual arrangements, carriers, and permits beyond the standard terms.
