I was surprised to learn that too, but Incoterms really do clarify it!

I feel like the Shipper's rule could be a possibility, but I also remember Incoterms being the main reference for these kinds of questions.

I’m a bit confused about this one. I thought the WTO had some guidelines, but I can't recall if they specifically cover insurance responsibilities.

I remember practicing a question similar to this, and I think the answer was related to Incoterms too. It defines who pays for insurance, right?

I think it might be the Incoterms rule, but I'm not completely sure. We covered it in class, and it seemed important for shipping responsibilities.

Okay, I've got this. Incoterms are the internationally recognized commercial terms that cover things like cargo insurance responsibility. That's the rule I'm going with.

I'm a bit confused by the options - I don't recognize Lloyds of London or the Shipper's rule as standard trade terms. I'll have to narrow it down.

Incoterms definitely sound like the right answer here. I remember learning about how they specify responsibilities like cargo insurance.

Incoterms rule, of course! It's like the UN of international trade terms - you can't go wrong with that.

The Shipper's rule? Sounds like something my grandpa would make up. I'm going with the Incoterms, it's the only one that makes sense here.

Yeah, the Shipper's rule does sound a bit old-fashioned. Incoterms rule seems like the right choice.

Hmm, I thought the Lloyds of London rule was for insuring ships, not cargo. But maybe they have a special cargo insurance rule too, who knows?
