Wang Gang Key to Unit 5

I. Answer the following questions.

1. There are mainly three modes of payments in international trade including Remittance,

Collection and Letter of Credit (L/C).

2. D/P and D/A are of commercial credit, while L/C is of bank credit.

3. The documentary credit provides the most satisfactory method of obtaining payment in foreign trade. It provides security of payment to the exporter, and enables the importer to ensure that he receives the goods as ordered and delivered in the way he requires.

4. A letter of guarantee (L/G) is an irrevocable by which the issuer holds itself financially liable for the consequences of non-performance of the obligations by a third party towards the beneficiary.

5. The major difference between the two kinds of L/ Cs lies in the obligations of the beneficiary. In a standard commercial documentary credit the issuing bank has an obligation to pay the beneficiary based on the performance of the beneficiary (the beneficiary’s fulfillment of the terms and conditions of the credit). However, in a standby documentary credit the issuing bank is obligated to pay the beneficiary based on the nonperformance of the applicant.

Ⅱ. Translate the following sentences into English:

1.Your request for payment by D/P has been taken into consideration. In view of the small

amount of this transaction, we are prepared to effect shipment on this basis.

2.We will draw on you by our documentary draft at sight on collection basis.

3.We agree to draw at 50 days’ D/P instead of 20 days’ D/A.

4.In order to pave the way for your pushing the sale of our products in your market, we will

accept payment by D/P at sight as a special accommodation.

5.Payment is made by a confirmed, irrevocable letter of credit to be opened in our favor.

Ⅲ. Translate the following sentences into Chinese.

1.鉴于双方长期良好的业务关系,我们破例接受远期付款交单。请速下订单。

2.请注意,我方支付条款是保兑的、不可撤销的、即期信用证。

3.我方通常惯例只接受信用证付款方式,故抱歉不能考虑贵方付款交单的付款方式。

4.在任何时候,如实际累计销售金额超过10万美元,A方应在该日期后的一个月内将货

款汇付B方。

5.请严格按照合同条款开证,以避免不必要的修改,从而导致延误船期。

Ⅳ. Letter writing practice.

Dear Sirs,

Thank you for your letter of June 10th. We are pleased to learn that you are in the market for our Walnuts Meat to the value of $5,000. With regard to payment terms, you suggest that we pay you by D/P for the amount of our invoice.

Although we appreciate your suggestion, we regret being unable to consider your request for payment by D/P. As we generally require payment by confirmed, irrevocable letter of credit available by draft at sight, we cannot make any arrangement contrary to our usual practice, especially for a new customer. May we suggest that we do business on the basis of payment by L/C first and leave the matter to be discussed at a later date.

We look forward to receiving your first order.

Yours sincerely

Key to Unit 6

I. Answer the following questions.

1. A contract is the basis of a transaction. The performance and the making of shipping documents of a transaction should be in accordance with the stipulations of the contract. On the other hand, the bank’s examination of the shipping documents is based on the L/C, not on the contract. If there are any discrepancies between the contract and the L/C, the bank will not accept the shipping documents and refuse to make payment to the seller. Therefore, it is essential for the seller to make a thorough check of the L/C upon receipt of it.

2. The seller should ask the buyer to amend an amendment to the L/C or to delete the clauses

before shipment.

3. In order to leave sufficient time to the seller to make out the shipping documents and the bank to make their negotiation, the date of shipment and the expiry date of the L/C should be made at least two weeks apart.

4. Letters concerning L/C amendment and extension should be written with courtesy because a mere amendment to or extension of L/C will need time and money, which is always an annoying thing to the buyer.

5. When the seller fails to get the goods ready for shipment in time or when the buyer requests that the shipment be postponed for one reason or another, an extension of L/C becomes necessary.

Ⅱ. Translate the following sentences into English:

6.500 sewing machines under our Sales Contract No. 20 have been ready for shipment, but

we still have not received your covering L/C to date.

7.The L/C stipulations must be in exact accordance with the terms of the contract

8.Under the circumstances, we find it necessary to request you to amend your L/C as allowing

transshipment, failing which the delivery of this order will by force be delayed beyond the contractual date.

9.Please delete from the L/C the clause, “All bank commission and charges are for

beneficiary’s account”, which should be paid by the importing party only.

10.The 200 bicycles are prepared to be loaded onto s.s. “Taishan” on March 15. Please extend

your L/C to the end of March.

Ⅲ. Translate the following sentences into Chinese.

6.至今为止我方既没有收到所要求的信用证,也没有从你处听到有关这方面的消息。

7.兹通知贵方,信用证规定的货物数量应为25台,而不是原先的35台。

8.请取消“用直达轮”条款,加上“允许分运和转船”字样。

9.请修改第120号信用证为“本信用证将于2008年5月8号在中国到期”。

10.经检查信用证,我方发现在装运后没有时间议付单据,因为你方信用证装运期与有效期

相同。

Ⅳ. Letter writing practice.

18th July, 2009 American Exporter Co. Inc

17 Main Street, Tampa

Florida, America

Dear Sirs,

We have received your L/C No. 436 covering 8,000 dozen of printed shirts.

On examination, we find that your L/C prohibits transshipment and requires the shirts to be packed in carton boxes, while our contract stipulates that the goods are packed in wooden cases. As for shipment, since there is no direct steamer sailing for America transshipment is necessary. Therefore you are requested to amend the L/C to read “Transshipment is allowed” and “Shirts are packed in wooden cases instead of carton boxes” by telex accordingly.

Your prompt attention to the matter will be appreciated.

Yours sincerely

Manager

damaged’.

The surveyor’s report will be forwarded immediately after it has been prepared.
