专业知识简介
支付是进出口贸易的核心。在当今国际贸易结算方式中,有三种主要的付款方式(Payment Terms):汇付(Remittance)、托收(Collection)和信用证(Letter of Credit or L/C)。一般而言,大额交易使用信用证,小笔交易使用托收和汇付来完成。此外,还有两种或两种以上方式结合使用以及赊账(Open Account)、分期付款(Installment)、延期付款(Deferred Payment)、交单付现(Cash Against Documents)及交货付现(Cash on Delivery)等支付方式。
作为国际结算中的一个重要组成部分,汇票(bill of exchange /draft)是对外贸易中最常用的一种支付工具。汇票按付款时间的不同,分为即期汇票(sight draft)和远期汇票(time draft)两种。

Dear Mr. David Lee:
We appreciate your great efforts in executing the order. In view that it is our first order and to show our great sincerity, we are in a position to accept payment by L/C although there is a small amount, say USD 20,000.
We have submitted an application letter to Bank of America, Los Angeles Branch to open for our account the relevant documentary L/C for the total amount of USD 30,000. We further need you to prepare the following documents: Bill of Lading in duplicate, Commercial Invoice in triplicate, Packing List in triplicate, and Certificate of Origin in duplicate.
Once the L/C has been established, we will write to notify you.
Best wishes,
Mark Benson

9.2.3 样函3:建议改变付款条件
Dear Mr. Wang,
We are pleased to inform you that the 950 sets of laptops sent in two lots have arrived here in good condition.
Since the goods are quite satisfactory, we would like to place with you a repeat order for 1,500 sets of laptops (500 sets for each model). The prices and other terms remain unchanged.
However, for this transaction, we would suggest payment by D/P instead of L/C, which would save our cost and we believe it would be convenient to you as well.
In fact, an Indonesian company has already done business with us on D/P basis. We hope therefore that you will not hesitate to come to an agreement with us on payment terms so as to conclude the transaction.
We look forward to your favourable reply.
Best regards,
Mohammed Khan

9.2.4 样函4:对样函3的回复
Dear Mohammed Khan,
We are glad to learn from your e-mail of December 6 that you are prepared to place a repeat order with us. And your proposal of changing payment terms is agreeable to us, but we would prefer T/T to D/P.
Once the contract is signed, you are to remit by T/T within a week 40% of the proceeds to our account as your down payment. We will fax the B/L to you as soon as the shipment has been loaded on board. Within 3 days after you receive our fax, the remaining 60% of the payment must be made. After we confirm receiving your payment, we will immediately courier the original B/L to you directly.
In case we do not receive your payment within 3 days, we will have to notify the shipping company to return the cargo.
We believe T/T is a suitable payment method for both of us as we share the risks as well as the obiligations. It has been very popular in China and will definitely facilitate our sales to our mutual benefits.
We await your early reply.
Best regards,
Wangyongtai
sales Manager

9.2.5 样函5:要求T/T付款方式
Dear Sirs,
Thank you for your letter of May12 offering us 100 sets of refrigerators.
We know that you only accept payment by L/C for all deals. But, as this order is rather small in value, we hope you would agree to our payment by T/T upon receipt of the required documents.
As you know, competition from other brands is very keen here and we have to offer our goods on favorable terms and conditions. It is expensive to pay by L/C and, moreover, such payment terms will tie up our funds for a long time, which is a big problem to a small company like us.
After several years of satisfactory trading with you, we feel that we are entitled to easier payment terms. It will be highly appreciated if you could allow us to remit the total amount by
T/T as soon as the goods are ready.
We are anticipating your acceptance of the above request.
Yours faithfully,

9.2.6 样函6:拒绝D/A方式
Dear Sirs,
We have received your letter of October 2, 2018 asking for payment by D/A for Order No. 345.
It is our usual practice to do business with new customers on L/C basis. Therefore, we regret that we are unable to agree to your above request. However, in view of the amount being very small, we are prepared to accept D/P at sight, as an exceptional case, which we hope will facilitate your sale of our products. We will draw on you documentary draft at sight through our bank on collection basis. But we wish to make it clear that the accommodation is only for this deal, which should in no case set a precedent. For future transactions, payment L/C will still be required if the amount is more than USD30000.
We hope the above will be acceptable to you and await your confirmation.
Yours faithfully,

支付条款是国际贸易合同的一个主要内容。不同的支付方式对于贸易双方而言,在贸易结算中的风险以及经营中的资金负担都是不相同的。选择正确支付方式能使进出口双方在货款收付方面的风险得到控制,并在资金周转方面得到某种通融,从而促进交易目的的实现。在选择中,应从贸易双方共同的利益点出发,本着风险分摊的原则,选用综合结算方式,从而促成进出口商的双赢。目前,进出口贸易中,较常用的支付方式有汇付(Remittance)、托收(Collection)和信用证(Letter of Credit)。大额交易时主要使用信用证,小笔交易或者出口商为了适应国际间激烈的竞争,在支付方式上给予国外进口商优惠待遇,采用汇付和托收来完成。汇付包括信汇(M/T)、电汇(T/T)和票汇(D/D)。托收(Collection)分为光票托收和跟单托收。跟单托收(Documentary Collection)按照交单的前提分为付款交单(D/P)和承兑交单(D/A)。付款交单按照付款的时间,又分为即期付款交单(D/P at sight)和远期付款交单(D/P after sight)。对出口商来说,D/P比D/A更加安全。信用证支付是这三种付款方式中最常用的,因为它能为买卖双方提供高度保障。
