专业知识简介
在业务交往中,报价(quotation)或报盘(offer)都是很重要的一个步骤。报盘又称发盘,是买方或卖方向对方提出主要交易条件并愿意按此条件达成交易的表示。严格意义上讲,报价与报盘的含义不同。报价只是卖方愿意按什么价格供应某一种商品,而报盘,卖方不仅要给出所要出售商品的价格,还要说明其他条款,如包装、装运、支付和保险等交易要件。因此,如果报价单里包含其他交易条款,那么,这个报价单自然称为报盘。实际业务中,常见由买方询盘后,卖方发盘,但也可以不经过询盘,主动向对方报盘。

专业知识简介
根据报盘时有无规定期限,报盘可以分为实盘(firm offer)和虚盘(offer without engagement/non-firm offer)。实盘是指发盘人(offerer)对接受人所提出的是一项内容完整、明确、肯定的交易条件,一旦送达受盘人(offeree)之后,则对发盘人产生拘束力,发盘人在实盘规定的有效期内不得将其撤销或变更。如果受盘人在有效期内无条件地接受,就可以达成交易,成为对买卖双方都有约束力的合同。实盘必须同时具备三个条件才能成立:第一,发盘的内容明确完整,其内容应包括商品品质(quality)、数量(quantity)、包装(packing)、价格(price)、装运(shipment)、支付(payment)、有效期(validity) 等。第二,发盘的内容和词句必须肯定,不能用“大约(about)”、“参考价(reference price)”等摸棱两可的词。发盘中不能有保留条件,例如:以我方最后确认为准(subject to our final confirmation)。
虚盘是发盘人所作的不肯定交易的表示,凡不符合实盘所具备的上述三个条件的发盘,都是虚盘。虚盘无须详细的内容和具体条件,也不注明有效期,它仅表示交易的意向,不具有法律效力。出现下列一类的词句,皆为虚盘。例如:不负任何责任(without engagement)。
另外,报盘也分为主动报盘和非主动报盘。主动报盘是不经买方询价卖方主动提出的交易愿望和条件;而非主动报盘则相反,大部分的报盘都属于这一类,是应买方询价要求而做出的回应。

5.1 写作指南
5.1.1 实盘和虚盘的英文表达
实盘规定有效期,而且发盘一旦被接受,报盘人就不能撤回。为了防止日后的争议或者敦促对方早下订单,我们通常会在发盘函中明示该报价的有效期,或者指出其有效条件。
实盘的常用表达:
(1)This offer is valid for ten days. 此盘有效期为10天。
(2)For acceptance within two weeks. 在两周内接受有效。
(3)We are making you, subject to your acceptance reaching us not later than January 30. 现报盘如下,以贵方接受于不晚于1月30日到达我方为有效。
(4)The offer is subject to your reply being accepted by us before March 3, 2018. 此盘以我方在2018年3月3日前收到你方回复为准。
虚盘的常用表达:
(1)The offer is subject to our final confirmation. 此盘以我方最后确认为准。
(2)The offer is subject to prior sale. 此盘以是否事先售出为准。
(3)The offer is subject to goods being unsold. 此盘以货物的未售出为准。
(4)All quotations are subject to our final confirmation unless otherwise stated. 所作报价,除特别注明外,须经我方确认后方能生效。
(5)Our offer is subject to approval of export license. 出口许可证准许签证,我方报价才有效。

5.1 写作指南
5.1.2 价格条款的组成
(1)合同中的价格条款包括单价(unit price)和总价(amount/total value)。
(2)合同中的单价包括4个部分:计价货币、单位价格金额、计量单位、贸易术语。报价时,这4个部分一定要完整,缺一不可。
(3)单价可以用净价表示,也可以用含佣价表示。净价的表述:USD35 per dozen FOB Shanghai(每打35美元FOB上海价);含佣价的表述:USD35 per dozen FOBC5 Shanghai(每打35美元FOB上海价,含5%的佣金)。
(4)总价由两部分构成:货币名称和具体金额。在合同中,为了防止篡改,最好给出大小写两种写法,即先用数字,后用文字。
例如:USD22,500 (Say US Dollars Twenty Two Thousand Five Hundred Only)

5.1 写作指南
5.1.3 报盘信函的写作要点
通常会在两种情形下拟写报盘函:一是直接向客户发盘;二是收到客户询盘后做出答复。由于场景不同,两者的写作技巧也有所不同。前者要多考虑发盘的完整性和吸引力;后者则要注重针对性,必须以对方感兴趣或符合对方要求的商品为中心,做到有的放矢。一般而言,报盘的内容必须明确,发盘提出的重要交易条件必须完备,报盘所表明的态度必须是终局的。如果涉及价格条件,一般是做好报价核算后再进行报价。
一封规范的报盘函应包括下列几项内容:
(1)确定收到对方询盘或感谢对方来函。尤其要提到对方来函的日期和主要内容。若是主动发盘,此步骤则略。
(2)做出报盘,准确阐明主要交易条件。准确陈述己方可以提供或接受的交易条件,包括商品品名、规格、价格、数量、包装、支付、装运、保险等。
(3)声明发盘的有效期及其他约束条件和事项(报实盘时)。
(4)敦请对方尽早订货。一般会陈述市场状况或宣传产品,表明产品在市场上的竞争力、受欢迎程度、可供货情况,促使对方早下订单。
另外,有时除了询盘人所感兴趣的商品之外,报盘人也会主动介绍公司的其他相关产品,提供信息以期望达成更多交易。

从严格意义上讲,报价与报盘的含义不同。报价只是卖方愿意按什么价格供应某一种商品。在报盘中,卖方不仅要给出所要卖的商品的价格,还要说明其他所有条款,以便买方考虑或接受。报盘可以分为实盘和虚盘,实盘有完整、肯定、明确的交易条件,而且必须规定有效期限,所以撰写时,必须注意准确性和完整性,用词谨慎精确,表达清楚和明白。而虚盘在买方接受后必须由卖方最后确认才能有效。报盘时这一点必须说清楚,以避免以后的纠纷。报盘也分为主动报盘和非主动报盘。大部分的报盘是应买方询价要求而做出的回应。
报盘函一般包括三部分,开头部分报盘人对对方的询盘表示感谢,通常提及询盘的确切日期。正文部分报盘人列出询盘人所要求知道的各项交易条件,包括商品单价、商品数量、付款方式、装运日期以及优惠条件等等。结尾部分报盘人表示希望对方能接受报盘并进行订货,并强调其报盘的优势及商品的质量,以努力促成交易。另外,有时除了询盘人所感兴趣的商品之外,报盘人也主动介绍公司的其他相关产品,提供信息以期望达成更多交易。
