text: Unit 1 What Is China Customs 1.1 China Customs Organizations, Functions and Tasks 1.1.1 Customs General Administration The introduction of Customs General Administration The Customs General Administration was founded by the State Council on Oct. 25, 1949. Located in Beijing, the Customs General Administration now consists of altogether 11 departments and offices. The main task of the Customs General Administration Under the leadership of the State Council, to lead and organize Customs offices throughout the country in the enforcement of the "Customs Law" and related state policies and regulations, and in the promotion and protection of socialist modernization. The main functions of the Customs General Administration (1) To administer organizations, staffing, vocational training and appointments and removals of directors of Customs offices throughout the country; and to exercise leadership in Customs schools and colleges; (2) To organize the work of research and development, introduction and management of Customs technological facilities; (3) To administer audit and supervise all Customs financial affairs, equipments, fixed assets and capital construction; (4) To strengthen ties and co-operation and external exchanges with overseas Customs services, international Customs organizations and other international organizations concerned. (5) To draft and enact the policies and principles on Customs work to participate in drawing up and amending the Customs Import and Export Tariff; to enact other statutes on Customs operation; and to inspect, supervise and direct the enforcement of them by the Customs offices throughout the country; (6) To participate in drafting international treaties and agreements on Customs affairs; (7) To conduct the unified handling of tariff reductions and exemptions; (8) To organize and guide the preventive work of the Customs offices throughout the country; (9) To examine applications for reviewing disputes on duty payments and applications for reviewing customs decisions on penalties; (10) Compile Customs statistics. 1.1.2 Customs Establishments The introduction of Customs Establishments The Customs Establishment is set up by State at ports opening to foreign countries and at places which call for concentrated Customs operation. With the development of China's external economy and trade, as well as China's further opening to the outside world more and more Customs Establishments are set up. The main task of the Customs Establishments (1) To collect Customs duties and other taxes and fees. (2) To exercise supervision and control over inward and outward goods and means of transport, passenger's luggage and personal postal articles. (3) To compile Customs statistics and deal with other Customs matters. (4) To prevent and counter smuggling. 1.2 Customs Officer and the Passengers' Baggage Examination 1.2.1 Appearance and Image Wearing the smart, coordinated Customs uniforms, male and female Customs officers examine the declaration forms, check passengers and baggage and search hand baggage in the Customs Inspection Room. Mindful of their role in enforcement of Customs law, not only regarding Customs, but of China as well, Customs officers take great pride in their appearance. A Customs officer meets hundreds of passengers in a workday. In each of these passengers' minds, the Customs officer is creating images of himself and the organization he represents. The image of the Customs officer is enhanced by his appearance, style, courteous actions, conduct, and safety procedures; all are part of his responsibilities. 1.2.2 Friendly Attitude and Good Judgment The Customs officer's attitude can be the factor which controls such potentially explosive situations. Through his attitude, the Customs officer can impress passengers with the authority and formality of the inspection procedure, while conveying sincere interest in and understanding of the passengers' problems. A Customs officer's friendly relaxed attitude can relieve the honest passenger's apprehensions and tensions, and generally have a calming effect. The prudent law enforcement officer bases his actions upon knowledge gained from education, training, and experience in the law enforcement field. As a Customs officer, he will become more secure in making judgment as he better understands the law requires and how it is to be applied. 1.2.3 Passenger Processing Most Customs officers (Customs inspectors), particularly new Customs officers, spend the vast majority of their time processing passengers. The Customs officer is required to courteously process the clearance of people and their baggage and, at the same time, apprehend those persons violating the Customs law and related laws. 1.2.4 Intelligence Intelligence is information about an individual or a situation, which indicates the possibility that a violation may occur. The passenger's appearance, conduct and reaction to questioning contain vital information to aid in determining the extent of the examination required. 1.2.5 Questioning and Tact The inspectional procedure is filled with an overabundance of situations, in which the judicious use of tact can make the inspection less difficult, and minimize the probability of complaints from the passengers. To build a foundation for passenger examination, the Customs will borrow a method long used in journalism. The method is referred to as "the five Ws". Those five Ws are WHO, WHERE, WHEN, WHAT and WHY, not necessarily in that order. Sometimes, for good measure, HOW is thrown in. In asking these questions, the Customs officer must ultimately be working towards a goal, determining whether or not there is a high likelihood that the passenger is carrying narcotics, undeclared merchandise, fraudulently invoiced merchandise, prohibited agricultural products. Or if he is in violation of one of the many laws Customs is required to enforce. For this purpose, the Customs officer must develop geometric questioning; asking questions in such a manner that build one upon the other. Unit 2 How Does Customs Supervise and Control 2.1 Customs Supervision and Control over Imports and Exports 2.1.1 How does Customs Supervise and Control over Imported and Exported cargo Imported and exported cargo, except where specially relieved, is subject to the necessary Customs examination. During the course of the examination Customs must check that the shipping marks, number of packages, weight, specifications of the cargo, and trading country correspond (agree) with those on the licenses; that the cargo accords with relevant regulations on foreign trade; that there is no damage to or loss of cargo; that the quality and packing of exported goods are up to requirements; and that there are no irregularities daring loading, discharging or storing. Important exports, after being examined and found to be in accord with the regulation may be released (set free) with the relative documents signed and sealed by Customs, against which the delivery or shipment of the cargo may be made between the cargo-owner and the harbor, airport, railway station, post office or other unit concerned. Any import or export cargo not in conformity with the stipulations may not be released and will fall to be disposed of by Customs according to the regulations. As for exports, Customs, in conjunction with the Commodity Inspection Bureau whose prime function this is, must pay strict attention to the quality of the goods to be exported so as to maintain the good prestige of China in foreign trade. Behind the busy activity of unloading or loading a ship or aircraft, opportunities arise with the potential for developing into violations of the Chinese Customs code. 2.1.2 How does Customs Supervise and Control over Incoming and Outgoing Ships Incoming and outgoing means of transport, such as vessels, trains, civil aircrafts and vehicles must be placed under Customs supervision and control. On entering or leaving the Chinese territory, they must submit declaration to Customs may the cargo be discharged or loaded and the conveyance may continue on its way to other Chinese open ports or sail abroad. The supervision and control of means of transport is one of the main tasks of the Chinese Customs. On arrival of a ship from abroad at anchorage or at wharf, the Quarantine officers will go on board the ship to see there are no infectious diseases being found on the ship. While on board the joint inspection party works as a unit, but each member of party carries out their respective duties. In order to satisfy the need of the open door policy adopted by China, the procedure of the joint inspection has been simplified. The main duty of the Customs is to see if the ship has got the required ship's papers and to collect them; to see if her cargo is in good order, and to find out the ship is involved in any smuggling or any other unlawful activities. The first duty in the control of ships is to collect specified documents and papers. Import and export goods are subject to examination. During the course of such examination, Customs must check that the shipping mark, number of package, weight, specifications of the goods and trading country correspond to those on the licenses; that the cargo accords with relevant regulations on foreign trade; that there is no damage to or loss of cargo; that the quality and packing of the export goods are up to requirements; and that there are no irregularities during loading, discharging or shoring. 2.2 Customs Control over Manufacture in Bond for Export If imported materials are taken into a bonded warehouse for storage, without payment of duty, the storage must be under customs control. That is the warehouse must be one authorized by the customs. In the same way, the customs authorities must have suitable control throughout if imported materials are taken into a bonded warehouse for manufacturing export products. If such customs control is strictly enforced it may involve some of the following functions customs supervision of the transfer of imported materials on which duty has not been paid from the docks to the bonded warehouse; Customs control over access to the raw materials, finished goods and any intermediate materials including wastes stored in the warehouse; and the physical supervision by customs of the exportation of other means of disposal of the finished products and other goods arising from the process of manufacture in bond. Unit 3 What Is International Trade Terms 3.1 Role of International Trade Terms 3.1.1 Introduction to Trade Terms Trade terms are also referred to as "price terms" or "delivery terms". Trade terms are a set of uniform rules codifying the interpretation of trade terms defining the price composition and the rights and obligations of the buyer and the seller in international transactions. Every commercial transaction is based upon a sales contract, and the trade terms used in the contract have the important function of naming the exact point at which the ownership of the merchandise is transferred from the seller to the buyer. 3.1.2 The Role of International Trade Terms in International Trade It is beneficial to buyers and sellers of negotiating transaction and concluding contract Because each trade term has its specific meaning, therefore, as long as the parties agreed on the trade term, it is also defining the responsibility, costs and risks which lie in the cargo landing-over and who are responsible for them. It is beneficial to buyers and sellers of accounting the price and cost As trade terms express the components of price, so both buyers and sellers must consider the cost of subordination included in the trade term which is adopted when parties determine the concluded price. It is helping to resolve disputes in the contract If buyer and sellers have the lack of consideration for the terms of the contract, so that certain matters shall not clear or incomplete, resulting in the dispute of performance can not be resolved based on the provisions of the contract, in this case, could invoke the general explaining of relevant trade terms to deal with it, when they negotiating contracts. It is beneficial to other organizations It is beneficial to organizations of carrying out operational activities, with the appearance of trade terms and international usages which explaining them, they provide an objective basis and favorable conditions for organizations about dealing with the issues exist in the practice and carrying out operational activities. 3.2 International Trade Usages 3.2.1 Where Is International Trade Usages from? In international trade business practice, because of each national legal systems, trade practices are different, so there are differences in understanding and operating each trade term that easily lead to trade disputes. 3.2.2 Understanding Incoterms Why Incoterms? Incoterms are international rules that are accepted by governments, legal authorities and practitioners worldwide for the interpretation of the most commonly used terms in international trade. They either reduce or remove altogether uncertainties arising from differing interpretations of such terms in different countries. What do they cover? The scope of Incoterms is limited to matters relating to the rights and obligations of the parties to the contract of sale with respect to the delivery of goods sold, but excluding "intangibles" like computer software. What do they not deal with? Although the Incoterms are widely used and exceedingly handy, they are not meant for every type of contract. Specifically, the terms used in a contract state exactly when the shipper unloads and relinquishes obligation, and when the buyer takes over for carriage and insurance. 3.2.3 Warsaw—Oxford Rules 1932 In 1928, the International Law Association held a meeting in Warsaw, and worked out the Uniform Rules for CIF Sales Contracts, which was called Warsaw Rules 1928, and renamed Warsaw—Oxford Rules 1932 at the Oxford Convention and includes 21clauses. It is mainly use to indicate the nature and characteristic of the CIF contract and also to stipulate the responsibilities of the two parties under CIF terms. 3.2.4 Revised American Foreign Trade Definitions 1941 In 1919, nine American commercial groups drew up the US Export Quotations and Abbreviations in 1919, then revised in 1941 and renamed Revised American Foreign Trade Definitions 1941. It was adopted by the American Commerce, the National Importers Association and the American Foreign Trade Association in the same year. 3.2.5 International Rules for the Interpretation of Trade Terms The purpose of Incoterms is to provide a set of international rules for the interpretation of most commonly used trade terms in foreign trade. Thus the uncertainties of different interpretations of such terms in different countries can be avoided or at least reduced to a considerable degree. 3.3 A Guide to Incoterms 2000 3.3.1 Explanation of Terms in Incoterms 2000 Incoterms 2000 aim at providing such a set of standardized terms which mean exactly the same to both parties to a contract and will be interpreted in exactly the same way by courts in every country. For the purpose of easier reading and understanding, a brief explanation will be given based on the below four groups respectively. What are the 13 terms? 组别 术语缩写 E组 发货 EXW EX works 工厂交货(……指定地点) FCA Free Carrier 货交至承运人(……指定地点) FAS Free Along Side 船边交货(……指定装运港) FOB Free On Board 船上交货(……指定装运港) CFR Cost and Freight 成本加运费(……指定目的港) CIF Cost, Insurance and Freight 成本、保险加运费付至(……指 定目的港) CPT Carriage Paid to 运费付至……指定目的港) CIP Carriage and Insurance Paid to 运费、保险费付至(……指定目 的地) DAF Delivered at Frontier 边境交货(……指定地点) DES Delivered EX Ship 目的港船上交货(……指定目的 港) DEQ Delivered EX Quay 目的港码头交货(……指定目的 港) DDU Delivered Duty Unpaid 未完税交货(……指定目的地) DDP Delivered Duty Paid 完税后交货(……指定目的地) F组 主要运费未付 C组 主要运费已付 D组 货到 术语英文名称 术语中文名称 3.3.2 Explanation of Group E Under the "E" term (EXW), the seller only makes the goods available to the buyer at the seller's own premises. It is the only one of that category. EXW EX Works (…named place) EXW means that the seller fulfills his obligation to deliver when he has made the goods available to the buyer at his premises or another named place (i. e. , works, factory, warehouse, etc. ) not cleared for export and not loaded on any collecting vehicle. Title and risk pass to the buyer including payment of all transportation and insurance costs from the seller's door. 3.3.3 Explanation of Group F Under the "F" terms (FCA, FAS and FOB), the seller is called upon to deliver the goods to a carrier appointed by the buyer. FCA Free Carrier (…named place) Title and risk pass to the buyer including transportation and insurance costs when the seller delivers goods cleared for export to the carder nominated by the buyer at the named place. It should be noted that the chosen place of delivery has an impact on the obligations of loading and unloading the goods at that place. If delivery occurs at the seller's premises, the seller is responsible for loading. If delivery is at any other place, the seller is not responsible for unloading. This term may be used for any mode of transport. FAS Free Alongside Ship(…named port of shipment) Title and risk pass to the buyer including payment of all transportation and insurance cost when the goods are placed alongside the vessel at the named port of shipment by the seller. The export clearance obligation rests with the seller. This is a reversal from previous Incoterms versions which required the buyer to arrange for export clearance. However, if the parties wish the buyer to clear the goods for export, this should be made clear by adding explicit wording to this effect in the contract of sale. FOB Free on Board(…named port of shipment) Title and risk pass to buyer including payment of all transportation and insurance cost when the goods pass the ship's rail at the named port of shipment. This means that the buyer has to bear all costs and risks of loss or damage to the goods from that point. The FOB term requires the seller to clear the goods for export. Used only for sea or inland waterway transportation. The obligations of the seller under the FOB contract may be summarized as follows: The seller is required to: (1) Supply conforming goods, packed appropriately or in accordance with the contract, and any documents confirming conformity which have been agreed and supply a commercial invoice or its electronic equivalent; (2) Deliver the goods to buyer by placing them on board, that is over the rail of the vessel which has been notified by the buyer, in the manner which is usual or customary at that port for such delivery, at the time agreed and without delay give the buyer sufficient notice of the fact; (3) Place them on the vessel in the position and manner required; (4) Pay any costs incidental to delivery of the goods; (5) Obtain an export license, if so required, or any other document necessary for the exportation of the goods and clear the goods through customs; (6) Provide proof of delivery in the manner agreed—provide any assistance requested by the buyer in respect of obtaining documents facilitating export and providing information to enable the goods to be insured. The buyer is required to: (1) Give sufficient notice to the seller of the time and location of the delivery having, presumably, contracted for the carriage of the goods from the port of shipment, bear any costs occasioned by his failure to do so and bear the risk of loss or damage to the goods from the time they pass over the ship' s rail; (2) Obtain any appropriate licenses, authorizations for the import of the goods, and comply with customs formalities for importation whether in the country of destination of in a country of transit; (3) Pay any costs incidental to the importation of the goods, bear the risk in those goods from the time of their delivery and bear the costs of the provision of assistance by the seller at the request of the buyer; (4) Pay for the goods. However, as the loading of the goods is a continuous process, it is hard to used ship's rail as a point to divide responsibilities and costs. 3.3.4 Explanation of Group C Under the "C" terms (CFR, CIF, CPT and CIP), the seller has to contract for carriage. But without assuming the risk of loss or of damage to the goods or additional costs due to events occurring after shipment or dispatch. CFR Cost and Freight (…named port of destination) The seller delivers when the goods pass the ship's rail in the port of shipment. The seller must pay the costs and freight necessary to bring the goods to the named port of destination but the risk of loss or damage to the goods, as well as any additional costs due to events occurring after the time of delivery, are transferred from the seller to the buyer. CIF Cost, Insurance, and Freight(…named port of destination) The seller delivers when the goods pass the ship's rail in the port of shipment. The seller must pay the costs and freight necessary to bring the goods to the named port of destination but the risk of loss of or damage to the goods, as well as any additional costs due to events occurring after the time of delivery, are transferred from the seller to the buyer. This term requires the seller to clear the goods for export. The seller's obligations under a CIF contract may be summarized as follows: (1) To ship goods of the description contained in the contract and clear the goods for export or to buy conforming goods afloat; (2) If the goods are not bought afloat, to procure a contract of carriage by sea under which the goods will be deliveried at the destination agreed by the contract and obtain the bill of lading as evidence of having done so; (3) To arrange, if this has not already been done, insurance on terms current in the trade which will be available for the benefit of the buyer and provide a policy or insurance document which entitles the buyer to make a claim against the insurer; (4) To make out an invoice which normally will debit the buyer with the agreed price, or the actual cost, commission charges, freight and insurance premium, and credit him for the amount of the freight which he will have to pay to the ship owner on delivery of the goods at the port of destination; (5) To tender these documents in the manner agreed whether by presentation directly, transmission by electronic means or otherwise, the bill of lading, insurance policy and invoice to the buyer, together with any other documents which may be agreed between the parties and/or might be required by the customs of the trade so that he may obtain delivery of the goods or recover for their loss, if they are lost on the voyage, and know what freight he has to pay. The duties of the buyer may be summarized as follows: (1) To accept the documents when tendered by the seller, if they are in conformity with the contract of sale, and pay the contract price; (2) To receive the goods at the agreed port of destination and bear, with the exception of the freight and marine insurance, all costs and charges incurred in respect of the goods in the course of their transit by sea until their arrival at the port of destination, as well as unloading costs, including lighterage and wharfage charges; (3) If war insurance is to be provided, to bear the cost; (4) To bear all risks of the goods from the time when they shall have effectively passed the ship's rail at the port of shipment; (5) If the buyer has reserved to himself the right to determine the period within which the goods are to be shipped and/or the right to choose the port of destination, he must bear the additional costs incurred as a result and all risks of the goods from the date of the expiry of the period fixed for shipment, provided always that the goods have been appropriated to the contract, that is to say, clearly set aside or otherwise identified as the contract goods; (6) To pay the costs and charges incurred in obtaining the certificate of origin and consular documents; (7) To pay all Customs duties as well as any other duties and taxes payable consequent upon the importation; (8) To obtain and provide at his own risk and expense any import license or permit or the like which he may require for the importation of the goods at destination. CPT Carriage Paid to(…named port of destination) Risk and insurance cost pass to buyer when the seller delivers me goods to the carder nominated by him and pays transportation cost to the named destination. This term requires the seller to clear the goods for export. This term is used for any mode of transportation. CIP Carriage and Insurance Paid to(…named port of destination) Title and risk pass to buyer when the seller delivers the goods to the carrier nominated by him but the seller must in addition pay the cost of carriage necessary to bring the goods to the named destination. This means that the buyer bears all risks and any additional costs occurring after the goods have been so delivered. The seller also has to procure insurance against the buyer's risk of loss or damage to the goods during the carriage. It is used for any mode of transportation. 3.3.5 Explanation of Group D Under the "D" terms (DAF, DES, DEQ, DDU and DDP), the seller has to bear all costs and risks needed to bring the goods to the place of destination. DAF Delivered at Frontier(…named place) Title, risk and responsibility for import clearance pass to buyer when goods are placed at the disposal of the buyer on the arriving means of transport not unloaded, cleared for export, at the named point and place at the frontier, but before the customs border of the adjoining country.

DEQ Delivered Ex Quay(Duty Paid)(…named port of destination) Title and risk pass to buyer when goods are placed at the disposal of the buyer not cleared for import on the quay (wharf) at the named port of destination.

Unit 4 How Can We Make Inquiries and Quotation 4.1 Introduction to Inquiry and Quotation 4.1.1 What Is Inquiry? An inquiry is a request for the trade terms of certain commodity. When the buyer intends to import, he may send out an inquiry to an exporter, inviting a quotation or an offer for the goods he wishes to buy or simply asking for some general information about these goods. Inquiries may be made by letter, telegram, telex or fax or even by telephone or through faceto-face talk. Since the 1990's, inquiries made by E-mail have been on the increase. When making an inquiry, keep it brief, specific, clear and to the point; say what needs to be said and ask what to be asked and then stop. 4.1.2 What Is Quotation? Quoting a price for a product is a vital part of the business process. Since inquiries represent a great source of business, the answers to them should be prompt, polite and helpful. When you give a quotation, you should first thank the inquirer for his/her inquiry, mention the date of his inquiry and quote any other references that appear. Give the information fully. Finally express the hope of a lasting friendly business relationship so as to create goodwill and leave good impression on the customer.

Unit 6 How Many Agreements Are Concerning Customs Brokerage 6.1 Introduction to Agent and Agency Agreement 6.1.1 Why Do We Have Agent? In international trade, a lot of business work is handled not only by direct negotiations between buyers and sellers, but also by means of agencies. When a company seeks to develop its markets in other countries, it often resorts to the help of agents, who will be employed to represent the company to sell its products in a given area too distant to be effectively covered by the company itself. An agent to be appointed should have sufficient means to develop the trade and have reliable connections in the designated area. 6.1.2 The Types of Agency As far as buying and selling are concerned, there are mainly two types of agents: General agent (or commission agent): A general agent may be a firm or a person who acts under some degree of instructions from his principals to sell (or to buy) goods on the best terms obtainable. Then he charges a commission for his service under some kind of agreement or contract. Sole agent (or exclusive agent): A sole agent may also be a firm or a person who acts exclusively for one foreign principal with sole or exclusive agency rights to sell on a commission basis certain commodities in a certain districts under some kind of agreement or contract. 6.1.3 What Is Agency Agreement Our import and export corporations usually appointed some films in foreign countries to act as their agent to sell goods produced or manufactured in our country. The terms of agency can be set out in correspondence between the parties concerned, but when dealings are on a large scale, a formal agency agreement may be desirable. The agreement, of course, may be drafted by one of the parties in consultation with the other. 6.2 Freight Agency Agreement AIR FREIGHT AGENCY AGREEMENT This agreement is entered into by Sea Tiger, 200 lighting way, secaucus, New York 08095 USA ( hereafter known as STL), and _____________(hereafter known as________), and jointly known as the parties.

C Profit share The parties hereby agree to share profit on routed shipments on a 50%/50% basis. Profit shall be based on the difference between on the agent's buying and selling rate, and shall be calculated from the airfreight amount on the house air waybill or direct air carrier bill of lading. Documentation and any accessorial charges shall not be subjectice to profit share. D Sales The parties agree to represent one another in their respective countries and to fully cooperate with each develop business through the use of the sales leads, and through the exchange of sales and business intelligence.

The importer is known as the applicant of the documentary credit, the exporter the beneficiary, and the bank the issuing bank. Generally, the applicant is required to put up a certain amount of money (equal to the amount covered in the credit) with the issuing bank as security. If the issuing bank agrees to issue the documentary credit, it will ask a bank in the exporter's country (its overseas branch or another bank with which it has a banking) to advise it to the exporter. This bank, known as the advising bank, has to check the authenticity of the credit before forwarding it to the exporter. By this it is meant that the advising bank must make sure that the documentary credit is issued by a real bank of good repute (it will honor its promise to pay against the correct). If the advising bank is satisfied with the financial standing of the issuing bank, it will forward it to the exporter, with a covering letter. In the covering letter, the exporter is told to check the terms and conditions of credit carefully and, if he is not comfortable with the terms and conditions of the credit, to approach the applicant for an amendment (to change the terms and conditions in the credit so that he can meet). In advising the credit to the exporter, the advising bank can add his own course, the advising bank can also choose to advise the credit without adding his own confirmation, in which case he acts solely as the advising bank and has no obligation to pay the beneficiary if the issuing bank fails to do so. 8.2.7 How to Fill A L/C (1) 信用证类型的表示方法 ① 不可撤销信用证的标准跟单信用证开证格式是为开立不可撤销的跟单信用证而拟订 的。 ② 可撤销的信用证。很少情况下使用这种格式开立可撤销的跟单信用证,使用时要去 掉"不可撤销"字样,并以"可撤销"的字样代替之。 (2)号码 开证行的信用证编号。 (3)开证地点和日期 ① 开证地点是指开证行所在地。 ② 采取航空邮寄开证时,打上的开证日期通常即为邮寄信用证的日期。 ③ 标准跟单信用证开证格式用作有效的信用证文件时(即在已先发出电讯,而该电 讯又非有效的信用证文件的情况下),要打上的日期应为电讯中的开证日期。 ④ 如电讯中未标出明确的日期,所要填写的日期应为电讯传递的日期。 当标准跟单信用证开证格式当作有效的信用证文件时,应清楚地注明:为证实我 行XX日电讯,本信用证为有效的信用证文本。 (4)有效日期和地点 ① 如 UCP500第4条所规定,所有的信用证必须规定交单要求付款、承兑、议付的 到期日。 ② 应加列日期,而不是一段时期。 ③ 在该到期日那天或以前必须提交单据的地点为到期地点。该地点通常为一个城市 或一个国家。因此,"有效日期和地点"的例子应为:"1998.04.06 in London"。 ④ 所选择的有效地点必须与信用证项下提交单据给指定银行的所在地一致。 (5)申请人 申请人的名称和地址。 (6)受益人 开立信用证受益的当事人的名称和地址。 (7)通知行 ① 此处填写将信用证通知给受益人的银行名称和地址。 ② 参考编号下面不应填写任何内容(此处是供通知行使用的)。 ③ 如果通知行还是UCP500第10条b款所提到的"指定银行",亦需在第9项"使用 信用证的银行"标题下填上其名称和地址。 (8)金额 ① 金额应用大写和小写表示,此处需要适当警戒未经授权的改动。 ② 如金额前加上About,Approximately,Circa等词语,信用证将允许有UCP500第 39条a款提到的10%的金额增减幅度。 ③ 货币应用国际标准化组织制订的货币代号来表示。 (9)指定银行及信用证的可用性 信用证在此处要表明指定银行及其可用性的细节。 (10)分批装运 虽然UCP500第40条a款规定,如信用证没有另行规定,允许分批 装运,但最好还是在允许或不允许的方格内标上"X"。 8.3 Commercial Invoice & Customs/consular Invoice 8.3.1 The Commercial Invoice The commercial invoice is the key document describing the commercial transaction between the buyer and the seller states the names and addresses of the parties, the date and reference number of the buyer's order, a description of the goods sold, details of package (including the weight of every bale or case), exact marks and numbers appearing on the package, and the price.

Insurance is also a key issue in foreign trade. In international trade, the transportation of goods from the seller to the buyer is general1y over a long distance and it has to go through the procedures of transit, loading and unloading, storage, etc. Undoubtedly, these goods, either for import or export, are subject to damage or loss. So it is customary to insure the goods against risks of collision, leakage, pilferage, fire and storm, etc. 8.4.2 How Many Insurances? Insurance coverage varies in content. The People's Insurance Company of China provides three basic types: Free from Particular Average (FPA), With Particular Average (WPA) and All Risks. Nevertheless, the terms of insurance must clearly specify what insurance clauses are applicable, for China Insurance Clause (CIC) is different from the Institute Cargo clauses (ICC). In this way, it will avoid any possible misunderstanding with regard to the responsibility of parties concerned. 8.4.3 What Is the Purpose of Insurance? The purpose of insurance is to provide compensation for those who suffer from loss or danger that may be incurred. In fact, if goods are properly insured, neither the exporter nor the importer will suffer any loss. 8.4.4 Insurance Policy The most commonly used document in marine insurance is the insurance policy, which contains all the details concerning the goods, coverage, premium and the insures value. This policy is always filled out by the insured. When all is fixed, the insurer will normally retire the duplicate to the insured with their rubber seal. The signed insurance policy will become the legal document that serves as the shipping document evidencing insurance cover. 8.4.5 Contents of Insurance Policy (1) NUMBER OF ORIGINAL POLICY (2) INVOICE NUMBER (3) POLICY NUMBER (4) INSURED (5) DESCRIPTION OF GOODS (6) MARKS AND NOS (7) QUANTITY (8) AMOUNT INSURED (9) TOTAL AMOUNT INSURED (10) PREMIUM (11) DATE OF COMMENCEMENT (12) PER CONVEYANCE (13) FROM …TO… (14) CONDITIONS (15) SURVEYING AND CLAIM SETTLING AGENTS (16) CLAIM PAYABLE AT (17) DATE (18) PLACE (19) AUTHORIZED SINGAPORE (20) ENDORSED 8.4.6 How to Fill Insurance Policy (1) 正本份数(NUMBER OF ORIGINAL POLICY),当信用证没有特别说明保险 单份数时,出口公司一般提交一套完整的保险单(一份正本ORIGINAL,一份副本 DUPLICATE)。 (2) 发票号码(INVOICE NUMBER),此处填写发票号码。 (3) 保险单号码(POLICY NUMBER),填写保险公司指定号码。 (4) 被保险人(INSURED),如信用证无特别规定,保险单的被保险人应是信用 证的受益人。 (5) 保险货物项目(DESCRIPTION OF GOODS),填写货物名称,此栏允许填 写货物总称。 (6) 唛头(MARKS AND NOS),保险单唛头应与发票、提单等一致,也可只填 "AS PER INVOICE NO。XXX"。 (7) 包装及数量(QUANTITY),如以包装件数计价者,则将最大包装的总件数 填入;如以毛重或净重计价,可填件数及毛重或净重,如果是裸装货物,则表示其件 数即可;散装货物则表示其重量,并在其后注明IN BULK字样。 (8) 保险金额(AMOUNT INSURED),一般按照发票总金额的110%投保。信用 证项下的保险单必须按信用证规定办理。 (9) 总保险金额(TOTAL AMOUNT INSURED),即保险金额的大写数字,以英 文表示,末尾应加"ONLY",以防涂改。 (10) 保费(PREMIUM)一般已由保险公司印就"AS ARRANGED"(如约定)字 样。除非信用证另有规定,每笔保费及费率可以不具体表示。 (11) 开航日期(DATE OF COMMENCEMENT),一般填写提单的签发日期,也 可填写提单签发日前后各五天之内任何一天的日期,或填"AS PER B/L DATE"。 (12) 装载工具(PER CONVEYANCE),填写装载船的船名。当运输由两程运输完 成时,应分别填写一程船名和二程船名。 (13) 起运地和目的地(FROM …TO…)此栏填写起运地和目的地名称。当货物经 转船到达目的港时,可填写"FROM 装运港 TO 目的港 W/T AT 转运港(WITH TRANSIPMENT AT XXX),也可打成VIA 转运港 AND THENCE TO 投保最终目的地。 (14) 承保险别(CONDITIONS),本栏系保险单的核心内容,填写时应注意保险险 别及文句与信用证严格一致,即使信用证中有重复语句,为了避免混乱和误解,最好按 信用证规定的顺序填写。 (15) 货损检验及理赔代理人(SURVEYING AND CLAIM SETTLING AGENTS), 一般选择在目的港或目的港附过有关机构为货损检验、理赔代理人,并详细注明代理人 的地址。 (16) 赔付地点(CLAIM PAYABLE AT),此栏按合同或信用证要求填制。 (17) 日期(DATE),日期指保险单的签发日期。 (18) 投保地点(PLACE),一般为装运港(地)的名称。 (19) 签章(AUTHORIZED SINGAPORE),由保险公司签字或盖章以示保险单正 式生效。 (20) 背书(ENDORSED) 8.5 Packing List 8.5.1 What Is the Meaning and Function of Packing List?

AWB is a straight or non-negotiable bill of lading. The exporter may present his copy of the AWB to the airline to exercise his "fight of disposal" of the goods if and when he discovers after dispatching the goods that the consignee is in an unsound credit position. The validity of the carrier's contract of carriage starts when the AWB is executed, that is to say, when the AWB is signed by the shipper and the carrier or on his behalf. 9.2.2 Contents of the Air Waybill The airway bill is made up of twelve copies, three of which are treated as originals having equal validity; the remaining copies are for use by subsequent airline carriers when goods are transshipped in transit and for customs and internal statistical purposes. The three originals are for use by the airline. 9.2.3 Functions of the Air Waybill (1)It is a proof acknowledging receipt of the goods from the shipper by the airline; (2)It is a contract between the shipper and the airline for moving the goods; (3)It is a certificate of insurance; (4)It is a customs declaration; (5)It is an instruction sheet, guiding the carder's staff in handling the cargo; (6)It is a bill for the freight. 9.2.4 Air Waybill Cover In practice there is no uniformity of cover offered via the air carder's airway bill; indeed, not all airlines offer this. Those that do will include a rubric on the face of the airway bill. Whereby the shipper can choose to declare a value for the purpose of being insured via the air carrier's own policies which accept declarations from individual shippers. 9.2.5 How to Fill Air Waybill?
