　　Brief Introduction

　　在对外贸易中，按时装运进出口货物，及时将货物从厂方运至目的地，对完成进出口交易、满足市场需要、减少货物积压和提高商品的竞争能力，都起着积极重要的作用。特别是对某些鲜活商品或季节性商品的运输，更要抢时间、争速度，及时完成运输任务，以免造成经济上的损失和信誉上的不良影响。如果装卸不及时，运输拖延，到货慢，就会影响商品的销路，甚至失去市场。

　　交货是指卖方按照同买方约定的时间、地点和运输方式将合同规定的货物交付给买方或其代理人。装运一般是指将货物装上运输工具，它与交货是两个不同的概念。但是，在国际商务中，由于采用F.O.B、

　　C.F.R 和 C.I.F 三种价格术语，卖方只要根据合同的有关规定将货物装上船，取得提单，就算交货。提单签发日期亦即为交货日。因此，装运一词常被用来代替交货的概念。这种凭单交货被称为象征性交货。(实际交货是指货物运抵目的地，因而，装运时间与交货时间是并不一致的。)凭单交货时，装运期和交货期是一致的。在买卖合同中，合理地规定装运期(交货期)是很重要的。装运期(交货期)可分为三种：定期装运、近期装运和不定期装运。

　　Conversations

　　Dialogue 1

　　A: Now we have settled the terms of payment. Is it possible to effect shipment duringSeptember?

　　B: I don’t think we can.

　　A: Then when is the earliest we can expect shipment?

　　B: By the middle of October, I think.

　　A: That’s too late. You see, November is the season for this commodity in our market, and ourCustoms formalities are rather compli- cated.

　　B: I understand.

　　A: Besides, the flow through the marketing channels and the red tape involved take at least acouple of weeks. Thus, after ship- ment it will be four to five weeks altogether before the goodscan reach our retailers. The goods must therefore be shipped

　　before October;otherwise we won’t be in time for the selling season.

　　-- 现在我们已经谈妥了付款条件，你方是否能够在九月份装船?

　　-- 我看不行。

　　-- 那么最早什么时候可以装船呢?

　　-- 恐怕要在十月中旬。

　　-- 那太迟了。你知道，在我方市场上，十一月份是这种商品的上市季节，而我们的海关手续又相当复杂。

　　-- 我明白。

　　-- 另外，通过销售渠道以及繁琐的公文程序，起码要花上几个星期。这样从装船后到我们的零售商收到货物，总共要用四、五个星期。因此，十月份前货物必须装船，否则我们就赶不上销售季节了。

　　B: But our factories are fully committed for the third quarter. In fact, many of our clients areplacing orders for delivery in the fourth quarter.

　　A: Mr. Brown, you certainly realize that the time of delivery is a mat- ter of great importance tous. If we place our goods on the market at a time when all other importers have already soldtheir goods at profitable prices, we shall lose out.

　　B: I see your point. However, we have done more business this year than any of the previousyears. I am very sorry to say that we cannot advance the time of delivery.

　　A: That’s too bad, but I sincerely hope you will give our request your special consideration.

　　B: You may take it from me that the last thing we want to do is to disappoint an old customerlike you. But the fact remains that our manufacturers have a heavy backlog on their hands.

　　A: But can’t you find some way to get round your producers for an earlier delivery? Make aspecial effort, please. A timely delivery means a lot to us.

　　B: All right. We’ll get in touch with our producers and see what they have to say.
