Why Sogo-Shosha always requests its suppliers to provide an EXW quote?

EXW require the suppliers to deliver

the goods at their own place of business. All other transportation

costs and risks are assume by the buyers. The easiest for exporter,

the most difficult for imporAs ter.

As an importer, Sogo-Shosha is responsible for all other aspects of

the shipment after the goods entered to Japan. An EXW qoute will

provide all the needed information for the shipment, and this will

reduce the risk of loss shipment during the transportation process

to the third party.
