But some countries stipulate that the seller should notify the buyer of the shipment for the buyer to effect insurance, or the seller will bear the risks. Thus, to avoid disputes, the seller should give timely notice to the buyer to effe

41、时,卖方能否如期完成交货义务,不仅仅取决于卖方( ),三、案例分析题,1、CIF合同限期交货致损案 1996年某出口公司对加拿大某进口商出口500吨三级核桃仁,合同价格规定每吨4800加元CIF魁北克,装运期不得晚于10月31日,不得分批和转运并规定货物须于11月30日前到达目的地,否在方有权拒收,支付方式为90天远期信用证,加方于9月25日开来信用证。我方于10月5日装船完毕,但船到加拿大东海岸时已是11月25日,此时魁北克开始结冰,承运人担心驶往魁北克后出不来,便根据自由转船条款指示船长将运往魁北克的货物全部卸在哈立法科斯,然后从哈港改装火车运往魁北克,待这批核桃运到魁北克时已是12月,于
42、是进口商便以货物晚到为由拒绝提货,除非我方降价20%,几经交涉我方不得不降价15%了解此案,我方共损失36万加元。 请问此案应吸取的教训是什么?,教训: 1、CIF术语的正确应用 2、术语的选用应考虑风险情况,2、非正常风险争议案一份CFR合同,甲方卖3000吨小麦给乙公司,甲公司按规定的时间和地点将5000吨散装小麦装船,其中的3000吨小麦属于卖给乙公司的小麦。货抵目的港后,由船公司负责分拨,甲公司装船后及时发装船通知给乙公司。受载船只在途中遇险,使该批货损失了3000吨,其余2000吨安全运至目的港,卖方宣称卖给乙方的3000吨小麦已全部灭失,并按CFR合同规定货物风险已在装运港越过船舷
43、时转移给买方为由对此项损失不负责任。请问卖方应负责任么?,评 析: 1、卖方仍应承担交货责任 2、注意风险转移问题,3、使用贸易术语不当致损案我西北某市某出口公司于1997年12月向日本出口30吨甘草膏,每吨40箱共1200项,每吨售价为1800美元,FOB新港,共54000美元,即期信用证,装运期为12月25日,货物必须装集装箱。该出口公司在天津设有办事处,于是12月上旬便将货物运往天津,由天津办事处负责定箱装船,不料货物在天津存仓期间仓库着火将货物烧毁,办事处即通知内陆公司总部立即补发30吨,负责无法按时装船,由于该公司货源不及,只好要求日商将信用证的效期及装船期各延长16天。该案有何教训?,评 析: 1、结合运输方式选择贸易术语 2、注意风险转移问题,及早转移风险,4、我国北京甲公司向美国乙公司出口某商品50000箱,乙公司提出按FOB新港条件成交,甲公司提出按FCA北京条件成交,试分析各自提出如上成交条件的原因?,
