Packaging of Goods 商品的包装,Sales Packaging 销售包装Neutral Packing and Brand Designated by the Buyer 中性包装和定牌Points for Attention in Stipulating Packaging Clause 规定包装条款应注意的问题Ambiguous expressions should be avoidedThe seller should adopt appropriate package,Case study,Case 1:A certain trade company of China exported a batch of cannabis to Germany.It is specified in the contract that:moisture,15%max;admixtures,3%max.But we have sent the sample to the buyer before the transaction is concluded.We also telephoned the buyer that the delivered goods are similar to the sample after contracting.After the goods arriving in Germany,the buyer provided an inspection certificate stating that the quality of the goods is lower than that of the sample by 7%,and according to this,they also claimed for 600 pounds as the compensation against the losses.Could we ignore the claim for the reason that the deal was not conducted based on sale by sample?,Case study,Case 1:AnalysisIn this case,it was a sale both by sample and by description,so that the seller was in a very passive situation.If we can use one method to indicate the quality of goods,we do not adopt two.Originally,the delivered goods are up to standard,but it also required that the quality should be equal to the sample,which leads to the breach of contract.Case revelation:As to agricultural products such as ginseng,cannabis and so on,it is advisable to illustrate the quality of goods by scientific indicators rather than sale by sample.,Case study,Case 2:A certain trade company of China has exported several batches of wool textiles to a country in the Middle East.When the goods arrived,the buyer received one by one,without raising any objections.But a few months later,the buyer sent a set of clothing made by the wool textiles,claiming that there is an obvious color shading of the clothing made by our products and it is difficult to put into the market,thus filing a claim for compensation.How to solve this problem?,Case study,Case 2:Analysis(1)According to international practice,once the textiles cut,the buyer cannot return the goods.In this case,the importer has sold the goods to garment factories,and the textiles have already been made into the clothing,indicating that the importers have accepted our goods.Since the form of the goods has been changed,it is unreasonable for the importer to return the goods and lodge a claim.,Case study,Case 2:Analysis(2)In the Article 82 of United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods,it stipulates that the buyer loses the right to declare the contract void or to require the seller delivering substitute goods if it is impossible for him to make restitution of the goods substantially in the condition in which he received them.,Case study,Case 3:A Chinese export company exported apples to the abroad,both the contract and credit stipulated that the apple should be Grade Three.But only when the seller made the shipment,they found the stock of third-grade apples run out,so the seller sent the second-grade apples instead and noted on the invoice that“Apples of Grade Two sold at price of Grade Three”.Do you think whether it is appropriate for the exporter to replace the inferior by the superior and keep the price fixed as before?,Case study,Case 3:AnalysisSelling superior as inferior is also regarded as a breach of contract.In this case,if the third-grade apples are in short supply,we should ask the buyer for advice to choose substitutes,otherwise,it still constitutes a breach of contract.If the market is in the poor situation,the other party can reject the goods and claim for compensation.,Case study,Case 4:A certain trade company of China exported 1000 fans to America.Partial shipments are not allowed according to the credit.However,when the seller made the shipment,he found 40 fans with broken package,some of the fan covers deformed and some switches off.The replacement was already too late.To ensure the quality of the goods,the shipper regarded that,according to“UCP400”,even if partial shipments are not allowed,there is a tolerance of 5%of the quantity.He thought 40 fans were within the range of 5%of the whole quantity,so he shipped 960 fans actually.When
