几种贸易方式的区分:
离岸价(FOB=Free on Borad):
到岸价(成本+运费+保险费,CIF=Cost+Insurance+Freight):
成本加运费(CFR=Cost+Freight):
FOB:买方负责租船订舱、到付运费;办理保险、支付保险;
CIF: 卖方负责租船订舱、预付运费;办理保险、支付保险;
CFR:卖方负责租船订舱、预付运费;买方负责办理保险、支付保险
当咱们认识了几种贸易方式间的差别后,就晓得怎么来买保险了,由谁来买,谁支付保费,谁是受益人了。
外贸常用跟单书面英语的一大特点是官方、书面,另一特点是有专业缩写词汇,这二者都要重视。温思顿英语认为想要把跟单函电写好必须多累积范文,重视摘抄好句、经典句,给客户留下一个专业严谨的好印象。
