INTRODUCE

A long with the development and integration of the world

economy, Vietnam's economy is also gradually developing

towards integration, open exchanges of international

economic cooperation, creating more opportunities for

cooperation sale countries around the world. In the field

of export-import it plays increasingly play a larger role

for the development of the economy.

In operation import and export business, drafting,

agreement and implementation of export and import

contracts is one of the most important, it can decide

whether to make the deal or not, and also large related

to the implementation of how, as a result of the

transaction. So an import and export contracts is the

crucial prerequisite and for international transactions.

In this assignment,I will look at the contracts to export

a particular commodity at a company and solutions

perfection and I have made two analyzes of the two

companies contracts ChanThanh and firm Cadovimex II.

CONTRACT AND CONTRACT INTERNATIONAL

2

Contracts International Sale of Goods is purchase

contract of international sale of goods (also known as

contracts or foreign trade import and export contracts)

are contracts to buy goods with international character

(there are foreign elements that foreign factors ).

International nature of the contract of sale of goods

internationally understood not the same, depending on the

perspective of each country's laws.

Five essential elements make a valid contract including :

offer and acceptance, intention to create the legal

relations, consideration, capacity and the privity of

contract :

+ Offer and acceptance implies that offer is made by one

of the parties and is accepted by the other.which offer

is promoise to do or not to do some thing.follow by

acceptance is offeree agrees unconditionally.For example,

in tenancy agreement between landlords, the owners of a

property and the tenant, the landlord rent his property

or building to the tenant, the landlord is the offeror

and the tenant is the offeree. Since the two parties have

come together to enter into a contract there is a legal

binding between the landlord and the tenant.

+ Intention of creation of legal contract implies that

there is willingness from both the sides to enter the

legal agreement.

+ Consideration highlights the fact that there is some

sort of exchange involved in the agreement, either of

3

goods or of services, that has to be carried out by the

parties .For example,in sale contract betweent seller and

buyer about rice.seller’s right and obligation is receive

money and delive good while buyer’sright and obligation

is delive money and receive good.

+ Capacity is determined by the fact that both the

parties are in a position to enter the legal agreement

and there are no legal implications that restrict them

from doing so, and similarly.it is ability to join a con

tract.for example, A sells a house for B.If B is 26 year

ols,B can sign in the sale contract of house.If B is 10

year olds,B can not sign because the contract is not

vaild

+ Privity of contract prevents imposition of rights or

impositions on any individual or party apart from the

parties involved. Thus, privity of contract ensures that

only the involved parties are able to sue or claim each

other, with no other party having the right to do so. For

example,in sale contract betweent seller and buyer about

rice.there are only two parties,which are seller and

buyer are able to sue or claim each other .such as, price

negotiator or breaking contract

There are three types of contracts includes face to

face,written contract and distance selling:

+ face to face contracts are formed when both the parties

are present in the same area and can meet to discuss

facts and figures

4

+ written contracts when the parties can get in touch

with each other in this case, they enter the written form

of contract in which all the clauses and conditions are

written and signed by both the parties. It is eminent to

mention here that the same situation does not apply to

other parties that are in different locations and usually

entre distance selling contracts.

+ distance selling contracts when the parties do not get

a chance to meet in-person or to inspect good, and thus

the contracts are formed on the basis of trust and faith.

The contract is mainly based on the impact and thus the

same is also accesses and analyzed on the basis of impact

placed by it.

Characteristics of each type :

+ Face to Face : clearly,more believable by direct

exchange

+ Witten : professional,clearly,correct,creat

relationship between parties

+ Distance selling : uselful,flexible,saving time

Effect and benefit on contract :

+ Face to Face : althought parties can discuss about

contract easily, There is no clear evidence in a verbal

contract since the agreement is done by words of mouth,

when breach of contract occurs between the parties.

People agreed to enter into a contract in verbal contract

without signing any paper document as evidence therefore

they are difficult to prove and can create dispute since

there is no clear evidence.

5

+ Distance selling contacts : it help to save the time

also reduce distance between parties,but it might make

some mistakes or lack of understanding among parties

about tearm of addition tearm or implied tearm.

+ Written contracts : A written contract shows the nature

of the business and those that are involved in the

contract.it has strongest legal evidence of law in case a

party has any action breaking the law.it is most saferly

and professional.

CONTRACT ANALYSIS OF RICE EXPORT CO. TRAN THANH AND MVW

rice 5% broken which quality base on VIETNAM RICE EXPORT

STANDARD.

The competence capacity of contract have been confirmed

by Mr.Nguyen Chan Thanh director of sell company and

Mr.Mark Williams CEO.Director and CEO are fully capable

Privity

In this contract there are two parties,which buyer was

MVW INVESTMENTS LIMITED and seller was CHAN THANH CO.,

LTD

Tearm Of Contract

Export contracts that we analyze here is the

international trade agreement should not record the name

of the country as domestic commercial contracts that go

straight into the name of the title is SALES CONTRACT

contract. And because the bilateral nature of news means

that there is always the seller and purchaser of a

commercial contract where the title is usually not

CONTRACRT SALES CONTRACT or SELL PURCHASE CONTRACT.

NO: 2013/2806/MVW.

7

It is conceivable that the contract of sale between the

seller and the buyer is MVW signed on June 28, 2013.

Helps contract number for the management and storage

contracts and is more convenient basis for set of

relevant documents.

PLACE AND DATE: JUNE 28TH, 2013 IN VIETNAM-ANGIANG

This contract was signed on June 28, 2013 in An Giang

province, Vietnam. Location contracting is one of the

important basis to choose the governing law of the

contract if the contract does not specify what is the

source of governing law.

This is a contract was signed between the seller is TRAN

THANH Co., Ltd. is located in Long Kien Commune, Cho Moi

district, An Giang province, Vietnam, and limited

liability company investment based MVW 27 AVE TOLEDO,

HENDERSON, AUCKLAND 0612, NEW ZEALAND.

Comment : The introduction of this contract is generally

sufficient for the required content of title, contract

number, location, time signing the contract, the name

and address of the party. However, this agreement is

still lacking an important part is to represent the

seller and the buyer signed the contract. The reason

for avoiding the contract prepared as part of this

contract negotiation process between TRAN THANH and Co.

Investment Company Limited MVW primarily through e-mail

8

so that the two sides should be based solely on the

contents of a letter to come to an agreement but no one

stood out to represent direct negotiations should the

two sides agreed to not neglect this part to determine

the liability belongs. However, this is a fault of the

contract and should be modified, additional export

contracts in the future.
