Loss due to delayed arrival of the goods

In 2006 an import and export corporation exported 1 000 tons of walnut to a British company on the basis of CIF. Payment is made by irrevocable letter of credit at sight. The terms of delivery is subject to the arrival of the goods in Avonmouth on December 2 ,2006 , which is a special item. Our violation to this term resultecl in some economic losses. The basic items in the contract as follows :

Shipment: To be shipped during Oct. 2006 from China port to Avonmouth. The relevant UC opened by the Buyer will reach the Seller before the end of Sept. 2006. Seller undertakes to guarantee that the carrying steamer shall arrive at the named port of destination not later than Dec.2,2006. The actual date of her arrival at the named port of destination will be subject to the actual date of her arrival at the port of destination named verified by the relevant carrier or her agents.

Special terms and conditions on Prices :

(1) In case the carrying vessel arrives at Avonmouth earlier than Nov. 26 ,2006 , the Buyer shall pay the Seller price premium of 0.2% on the total invoice value per day.

(2)In case the carrying streamer arrives at Avonmouth later than Dec. 2,2006, the Seller shall agree to have the contract cancelled if so requested by the Buyer and if the payment has been already collected , it shall be refunded to the Buyer. Notice of the request for cancellation of contract is in all cases to be made to the Seller within 48 (forty-eight) hours after the time of arrival of the steamer at Avonmouth, otherwise the delivery shall be deemed as having been accepted by the Buyer.

After signing the contract , our corporation, through a forwarding agent, hired a vessel whose nationality is Sweden. The vessel started out on its voyage after loading on Oct. 5, 2006, and it was estimated that it would arrive at the destination on Dec. 2, 2006 if everything is in order.

Unfortunately, during the voyage, an engine of the vessel stopped working. Our corporation sent a towboat to drag the vessel forward considering the large amount of the shipments. But after the vessel's arrival at Avonmouth it was several hours later than the stipulated time of delivery (Dec. 2,2006) in the contract. Seeing the price of walnut was falling down in the local market,the Buyer notified our corporation that he refused to take delivery of the goods. Our company had to ask some agents to help sell all the goods on the spot in order to reduce the damage.

In this transaction,the loss of our party suffered was about USD600 000.

Questions :

(1) For walnuts are seasonal merchandises, usually they are sold before Christmas day. When exporting this kind of' goods ,what factor do you think is very important？

(2) In this case , the nature of the contract has changed from the Shipment Contract to Arrival Contract , why？

(Translate the case into Chinese and then answer the question)

Helpful hint: Some clauses of this contract change the characteristics of CIF contract.

Dear Sirs

Your shipment of twelve thousand Smart watches was received by our company thismorning. However, we wish to make a number of complaints concerning the serious delayin delivery and your failure to carry out our specific instructions with regard toIs order

It was stressed from the beginning that the delivery date had to be less than sixweeks from the initial order, in order to meet our own customers requirements. Whilewe understand that delays in production are occasionally inevitable, we must point out that the major reason why the order was placed with your company was because wewere assured by you of its speed of delivery, and that your existing stocks weresufficient ly high to ensure immediate shipment. Late delivery of the goods has caused us to disappoint several of our most valued customers, and is bound to have a negative effect on potential future orders The second complaint concerns the difference in color between the watches we ordered and those delivered. It was stated clearly in the original order that watches in combinations of green/purple and orange/purple only were required. However, only half the watches in the delivery received are of the colors specified. Our Hong Kong agent assures us that she stressed to you the importance of following our instructions precisely, since we consider there to be only a limited market in this country for watches of other colors at the present time. Any watches that are not of the specified colors will, of course, be returned to you

we are also somewhat concerned about the rather poor quality of the goods received since it is apparent that the watches that finally arrived have been produced from inferior materials and have been manufactured to a lower standard than those in the sample. We have also found that a number of the watches do not appear to be functioning whether the latter problem is due to poor manufactures, damage during transportation or bad batteries is not yet clear, but we should like to point out that we feel this matter to be entirely your responsibility.

As a result of the above problems, therefore, we feel that the most suitable course of action is to return to you unpaid any of the goods considered unsatisfactory, and to subtract any resultant costs from our final settlement. We shall also, of course be forced to reconsider whether any further orders should be placed with your comp

We look forward to your prompt reply.

Yours sincerely

John smith
