【文章內容簡介】
primitive, inefficient expensive way of doing business, but the massive debts of developing countries and the world’s oversupply of goods make it inescapable. 2對銷貿易可幫助有嚴重債務的國家繼續(xù)進口商品而實際上向債權人掩蓋出口收入。 Counter trade may help those nations, with serious debt problems to continue to import goods while ,in effect, concealing export earnings from creditors. 2在國際貿易中,由于交易當事人很難充分了解彼此的財務信息和信譽狀況,很難建立相互信任。 In international trade, it is very difficult for the parties to get adequate information about each other’s financial standing and credit worthiness, and mutual trust is hard to build. 2如果進口國的政局穩(wěn)定,而且又有出口商信任的代理人,出口商就可以采用寄售方式,待貨賣出后再收回貨款。 If the importing country has a stable political situation and a trusted agent there to work for the exporter, the exporter can enter into consignment transactions and get payment until the goods are sold. 2在付款交單的情況下,進口商在承兌了出口商所開出的匯票后,便可得到單據,而付款則要晚于這個時間。 In the case of documents against acceptance, the importer will get the documents once the bill of exchange drawn by the exporter is accepted, while the payment will not be made until a later date. 2賣方憑提交的正確無誤的單據得到貨款,買方憑規(guī)定的單據得到貨物,這種雙邊保證是信用證獨特的,具有代表性的特征。 Against the impeccable documents presented the seller gets paid, against the stipulated documents the buyer gets the goods.
