Features: To meet the current needs of vigorously developing international trade and actively participating in international market competition, seize opportunities, summarize experience, and prepare for future battles, the author has written this monograph, "Contract Terms and Case Studies on Import and Export," as one of the series on International Trade Practice. Through years of teaching, research, and participation in handling international economic and trade dispute cases, the author deeply feels that if international economic and trade personnel master the necessary professional knowledge and understand international trade law, conventions, and trade practices, some mistakes can be avoided, and many trade disputes could have been prevented. "Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it." In the long-term practice of China's past foreign contract drafting, performance, and dispute resolution in import and export contracts, many experiences and lessons have been accumulated. This is a valuable asset acquired at a great cost and serves as a vivid and practical living textbook worth learning from and taking inspiration from. Therefore, the author has written this book as a supplementary reading for the series on International Trade Practice. From both practical and legal perspectives, the book explains how to draft import and export contract terms by combining experiences and lessons learned from domestic and international international commodity trade operations. On the other hand, it discusses how to handle disputes arising in international commodity trade practice by applying relevant laws and conventions, so as to integrate theory and practice, law and business, and achieve the goal of applying knowledge into practice. The book consists of 16 chapters, including an overview of the basic characteristics of international commodity trade, the laws and conventions applicable to international commodity trade, and the principles they follow. It focuses on introducing and explaining the status of each contract term in the contract, the main content and provisions of the contract terms, and the precautions for contract terms in detail. At the same time, it analyzes a large number of typical dispute cases that frequently occur in international trade practice in conjunction with each relevant term.
