5.1.1 Role of International Trade Terms

In international trade practice, the Buyers and the sellers take their own rights and obligations, and in their long way transactions, they need to find the exact point at which the risks, responsibilities and expenses are transferred from the seller to the buyer.

Trade Terms (Price Terms/Delivery Terms) are an important component of a unit price in international trade, which have the important function of naming the exact point at which the ownership of the merchandise is transferred from the seller to the buyer. They can greatly simplify the contract

negotiations, and thus saves time and cost.

5.1.2 International Trade ConventionsWarsaw-Oxford Rules 1932 -- W.O. 1932

-- Set down by International Law Association, interpreted

uniform rules of CIF contract. Revised American Foreign Trade Definitions 1941

-- Set down by U.S Chamber of Commerce, which interpreted six trade terms:

Ex Point of Origin, FOB, FAS, CFR, CIF and Ex Dock-- When dealing with the Inter-American countries should pay

special attention!

-- International Rules for the Interpretation of Trade Terms

-- Established by International Chamber of Commerce in1936, were revised in 1953, 1982, 1990 and the full and authoritative definition of each trade term was published in 2000.

INCOTERMS 2000

In this convention, the terms were grouped in four basically different categories:Group E: Only makes the goods available to the buyer at the seller’s own premises.Group F: The seller is called upon to deliver the goods to a carrier appointed by the buyer.Group C: The seller has to contract for carriage on usual terms at his own expense, but without assuming the risk of loss of or damage to the goods or additional costs due to events occurring after shipment and dispatch.Group D: The seller has to bear all costs and risks needed to bring the goods to the place of destination.

To the exporter, the liability and responsibility is creasing from E to D, vice versa to the importer.

Case Study 1Company A signed a sales contract with a foreign buyer for exporting Tea Sets, under FOB term. At the buyer’s request, the seller agreed to charter a vessel at buyer’s account. When the date of shipment became due, the seller was still unable to get a vessel for shipment. The buyer not only disagreed to modify the date of shipment, but also cancelled the contract and claimed for loss, because the seller failed to effect shipment within the time stipulated in the contract. Is the seller responsible for failure to effect shipment for his inability to charter a ship?

Case Study 6A merchant in South America placed an order with a Chinese export company for a certain commodity on CFR Asuncion terms .With a view to develop new markets, the export company immediately made an offer abroad on the basis of CFR Asuncion, and the transaction was soon concluded. When shipping the goods, however, this company came to realize that Asuncion is an inland city. As was the case, if the company had the goods transported to Asuncion, it had to , first of all, have the goods transported by sea to a seaport in Argentina or some other South American neighboring country. After that, the goods might be transport to Asuncion through river transportation or inland transportation. As a result, this company had to pay a considerable sum of freight charges. What can we learn from this case?

Case Study 71993 年,美国出口商 A 与韩国进口商 B 签订了一份 CFR 合同,规定 A 出售 1000 公吨小麦给 B 。小麦在装运港装船时是混装的,当时在 A 装运的 3000 吨散装 ( in bulk )小麦中,有 1000 吨是卖给 B 的,货物运抵目的港后,将由船公司负责分拨 1000 公吨给 B 。但受载船只在途中遇到高温天气而使小麦发生变质,而使该批货物损失 1200 吨,其余 1800 吨安全运抵目的港。但 A 在货到目的港时声称,出售给 B 的 1000 吨小麦已在运输途中全部损失,并且认为按 CFR 合同, A 对此项风险不负任何责任。买方则要求卖方履行合同,双方争执不下,遂根据合同中的仲裁条款请求仲裁解决。仲裁机构经过取证,最后裁决卖方不应推卸自己交货的责任,对货物在途中发生的损失不能转嫁给买方。

Points for Attention 1. The Definition of “Carrier” “Carrier” means any person who, in a contract of carriage, undertakes t

o perform or to procure the performance of transport by rail , road, air, sea, inland waterway or by a combination of such modes.

If subsequent carriers are used for the carriage to the agreed destination, the risk passes when the goods have been delivered to the first carrier.

2. Chosen Place of Delivery If delivery occurs at the seller’s premises, the seller is responsi

ble for loading. If delivery occurs at any other places, the seller is not responsibl

e for unloading. Usually, the seller has right to choose the place of delivery.3. Division Point of Risks: Delivered to the Carrier

5.2.1 Ways to Stipulate Price

“No price adjustment shall be allowed after conclusion of this contract.”

Without Fixed Price For the MomentProvisional price

e.g. HK$5000 per bale(400 lbs.) CIF Hong Kong

Currency for Account and Payment

Exporter --- Hard currency (Reliable and stable and more in demand)Importer --- Soft currency (Unstable in value)Formula to calculate exchange rate:

外币 = 本币÷汇率(买入价) /100 本币 = 外币×汇率(卖出价) /100

5.2.2 Price ClauseUnit of price

-- A unit of price is composed of four parts: currency, unit price figure, unit of measurement and trade terms (followed by loading and unloading place).

e.g. ① At HKD 5.00 per dozen net CIF Hong Kong.② At US$ 21.00 per set FOB shanghai including your

commission 5% on FOB basis.

Total Amount e.g. $ 22.500.00 SAY US DOLLARS TWENTY-TWO THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED

ONLY.

5.2.3 Commission and Discount

Commission-- refers to the money received by an age

nt for his intermediary service. Commission may or may not be included in the price( 明佣 or 暗佣 ).

e.g. “US$200 Per M/T CIFC2% London” “US$200 Per M/T CIF London includin

g 2% commission.”

Page 54: Chapter 5 Trade Terms and Price  Aims and RequirementsAims and Requirements  5.1 Trade Terms5.1 Trade Terms  5.2 Pricing and Quotation 5.2 Pricing and

Discount-- is a certain percent of price reduction,

a special favor given by the exporter to the importer. Special discount, exceptional discount and quantity discount are commonly used. Discount is also specified in the price clause.

e.g. “US$ 200 per metric ton CIF London less 3% discount”.

Formula to Calculate Commission 佣金=含佣价×佣金率净价=含佣价-佣金含佣价=净价 /( 1-佣金率)

The same formula is used in calculating a discount

Ways to pay Commission and DiscountThe middle man will deduct commission directly from the payment for goods.The exporter will pay them to the middle man after settlement of payment.The importer will deduct discount when he pay for the goods.

出口货物价格核算1. 成本核算: 一般来说,我们掌握的成本是采购成本或含税成本,即包含增值税。但

很多国家为了降低出口商品的成本,增强其产品在国际市场上的竞争能力,往往对出口商品采取增值税全部或部分退还的做法。在实施出口退税制度的情况下,在核算出口商品价格时,就应该将含税的采购成本中的税收部分根据出口退税比率予以扣除,从而得出实际采购成本。

Formula : ∵ 实际采购成本 = 含税成本—退税收入 退税收入 = 含税成本 * 出口退税率 / ( 1+ 增值税率) ∴ 实际采购成本 = 含税成本 [1— 出口退税率 / ( 1+ 增值税

率) ]

2 、 运费核算 分班轮运费和集装箱运费两种

班轮运费 = 基本运费 + 附加运费 = 基本运费费率 * 运费吨 + 附加运费

集装箱运费 = 包箱费率 * 集装箱的数量

3 、保险费核算 在出口交易中,在以 CIF或 CIP 术语成交的情况下,出口报价中应包含保险费。保险费通常是按照货物的保险金额乘以保险费率计算。

Formula : 保险费 = 保险金额 * 保险费率 保险金额 =CIF(CIP) 货价 * ( 1+ 保险加成率)

CIF(CIP)=CFR(CPT)/[1-(1+ 保险加成率 )* 保险费率 ]

4 、其他费用核算 Formula :( 1 )含佣价 = 净价 / ( 1- 佣金率) 佣金 = 含佣价 × 佣金率 ( 2 )其他国内费用 = 各项费用额相加 或:定额费用 = 进货成本 × 定额费用率( 3 )银行费用 = 成交价格 × 费用率 垫款利息 = 进货成本 × 垫款利率 /12× 垫款月

5 、预期利润核算 利润是出口价格的三个组成部分之一,出口价格中包含利润的大小由出口企业自行决定。利润的确定可以用某一固定的数额表示,也可以用利润率即百分比表示。用利润率表示时应当注意的基数,可以用某一成本作为计算利润的基数,也可以用销售价格作为计算利润的基数。

核算报价公式FOBC=( 实际采购成本 + 国内费用 )/(1- 佣金率 - 利润率 )

CFRC = ( 实际采购成本 + 国内费用 + 出口运费 )/ (1- 佣金率 - 利润率 )

CIFC=( 实际采购成本 + 国内费用 + 出口运费 )/ (1-110%× 保险费率 - 佣金率 - 利润率 )
