The sides of a container in nearly all cases, is corrugated. The depth of the corrugation is usually 1 inch (25mm), which means that 2 inches (50mm) is lost from the external width dimension (1 inch each side). The back (blank end) is also corrugated and the doors are around 2 inches (50mm) thick meaning that approximately 3 inches (75mm) is lost from the length.

It would be a very important change since EXW is an Incoterm used in many companies with little export experience, and DDP is also commonly used especially for goods (e.g., samples or spare parts) that are sent by couriers and via express shipping companies that deal with all the logistics and customs procedures until delivery at the buyer’s address.
