Ex Works is where the seller's only responsibility is to make the ordered goods available to the buyer at the seller's premises, from there the buyer must make all delivery and distribution actions himself. This is one of the disadvantages to the buyer of using Ex works, as the risk transfers very early into the overall delivery compared to other incoterms. Another disadvantage to the buyer is they must arrange both export and import licences as well as organising customs formalities. As the risk transfers to the buyer before loading they must also arrange all the haulage to the final destination which is a disadvantage as it adds already high amounting costs.

EXW, or "Ex Works," is an Incoterm that specifies that the seller's responsibility is fulfilled once the goods are made available for pickup at their premises or another designated location. The buyer assumes all risks and costs associated with transporting the goods from the seller's location to their destination. This includes loading the goods, transportation, customs clearance, and insurance. Essentially, EXW places the minimum obligation on the seller and the maximum on the buyer.
Yes, prepaid and add freight can be used under EXW (Ex Works) terms, but it is not typical. In EXW, the seller's responsibility ends when the goods are made available for pickup at their premises, and the buyer assumes all costs and risks from that point onward. If the buyer chooses to have freight prepaid and added, they would need to arrange and pay for transportation while still taking responsibility for the goods once they leave the seller's location.

It's an Incoterms definition. Incoterms is a sort of dictionary used world-wide to regulate the transport of goods. In this specific case, 'Ex-works' means that the importer will have to arrange and pay for the transport of the goods from the manufacturing company up to his 'door' (sort of speech).
ex-post factor
No Ex-Works is not the same as freight collect. Freight collect is when freight charges are collected at the port of discharge. Ex-Works is when a seller delivers goods at the disposal of the buyer at the seller's premises.
