15、收到貨物，賣方的交貨是通過貨交承運人并獲得相關(guān)單據(jù)(尤其是物權(quán)憑證)來實現(xiàn)的。而相應(yīng)的，買方必須接受交貨，也就是買方必須接受賣方提供的相應(yīng)單據(jù)并履行相關(guān)支付的義務(wù)。(1)答案：Yes．答題切入點：1)賣方履行其義務(wù)的情況；2)CIF 術(shù)語對雙方交貨、領(lǐng)受貨物的規(guī)定；3)解釋“symbolic delivery”在這里的應(yīng)用。(2)答案：The buyer．答題切入點：CIF 術(shù)語下風險轉(zhuǎn)移的情況。由于本章主要討論貿(mào)易術(shù)語的應(yīng)用，關(guān)注的主

16、要是買、賣雙方。如果答案是保險公司，則要求說明損失的風險首先是由買方承擔的，在風險屬于保險公司承保范圍內(nèi)的情況下，保險公司會對買方進行部分或全部的賠償。4. A Shanghai company signed a CIF contract to sell Christmas goods to a British company. The USD1 million contract stipulated, “The seller guar

17、antees that the goods arrive at the port of destination by December 1, 2010. If the carriage is late, the buyer can cancel the purchase, and get the refund for the payment. “ So the shipment was made. Unfortunately, due

18、 to mechanical problems, the vessel arrived at the destination a few hours late. The buyer refused to accept the goods. As a result, the goods had to be sold on the spot, and the seller lost USD700 000. Comment on this c

19、ase.析：賣方受損的原因是貨物達到目的港的時間晚于合同規(guī)定的時間，因此買方拒收貨物。從表面上看，似乎問題就是出在賣方違約上，但如果仔細分析就會發(fā)現(xiàn)，該合同本身的內(nèi)容就存在自相矛盾的問題。合同用的是 CIF 術(shù)語，賣方在貨裝上船時風險就轉(zhuǎn)移。賣方既不承擔運輸途中的風險，也不保證貨物是否能抵達目的港。CIF 合同本質(zhì)上是一個“shipment contract” 。但加上一條保證到岸時間的條款后，合同的性質(zhì)發(fā)生了變化：它變成了一個“arr

20、ival contract” 。也就是說，在貨物按時抵達目的港之前的一切風險都由賣方承擔，否則賣方就是違約。答題切入點：1)CIF 術(shù)語對雙方風險及義務(wù)的劃分，點出“shipment contract”這一概念；2)解釋“arrival date”clause 對合同性質(zhì)的改變。5. A Chinese company finalized a transaction with a German company under CIF p

21、rice and L/C payment. Both sales contract and L/C received stipulated that transshipment was not allowed. The Chinese company made the shipment on a direct vessel within the validity period of the L/C and negotiated the

22、payment with a direct Bill of Lading successfully. After departing from the Chinese port, in order to take another shipment, the shipping company unloaded the goods from the original vessel and reloaded them onto another

23、. Due to the delay and the poor condition of the second vessel, the goods arrived 2 months later than the expected time. The German company suffered and claimed compensation from the Chinese company with the reason that

24、the Chinese side cheated them with a direct B/L. The Chinese company believed that since they signed the contract under a “到岸價“ and they booked the shipping company, they would be responsible for what happened. As a resu

25、lt the Chinese side compensated. Comment on this case.析：1)賣方按照合同規(guī)定履行了各項義務(wù)，造成貨物到港延誤的原因是船公司擅自改變運輸安排，賣方對此并不知情。2)賣方把 CIF 理解成“到岸價格”存在錯誤，混淆了承擔風險與承擔費用的區(qū)別。如果把 CIF 理解成“到岸價格” ，那么 CIF 就變成了一個到岸合同術(shù)語(arrival contract term)了，而實際上它應(yīng)該是個裝

26、運合同術(shù)語(shipment contract term)。3)因此，賣方在此情況下不應(yīng)進行賠償，而是應(yīng)該協(xié)助買方向船方進行索賠。答題切入點：1)分析買方受損的真正原因及責任方：2)解釋賣方錯誤賠償?shù)脑颍?)給出本案例正確的處理方法，尤其是賣方應(yīng)該如何應(yīng)對買方的要求。Chapter 3 Export Price 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10I. Multiple choices B D D A C D A B D BI
