Incoterms and Shipping. Incoterms like DDU are contract specifications outlining who bears the costs and risks of international transactions and are subject to change at the discretion of the ICC. There have been only 8 changes since the first set were published.
A British Thermal Unit (Btu) is a measure of energy content, usually used to describe the energy content of fuels. Because a Btu is so small, energy is usually measured in millions of Btus. 1 Btu = the amount of energy required to increase the temperature of one pound of water (which is equivalent to one pint) by one degree Fahrenheit. This is roughly the heat produced from burning one match. 1,000 Btu = four-fifths of the energy contained in a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. 100,000 Btu = one therm, such as what you would find on your gas bill.
