Brief Introduction
在對(duì)外貿(mào)易中，按時(shí)裝運(yùn)進(jìn)出口貨物，及時(shí)將貨物從廠方運(yùn)至目的地，對(duì)完成進(jìn)出口交易、滿足市場(chǎng)需要、減少貨物積壓和提高商品的競(jìng)爭(zhēng)能力，都起著積極重要的作用。 特別是對(duì)某些鮮活商品或季節(jié)性商品的運(yùn)輸，更要搶時(shí)間、爭(zhēng)速度，及時(shí)完成運(yùn)輸任務(wù)，以免造成經(jīng)濟(jì)上的損失和信譽(yù)上的不良影響。如果裝卸不及時(shí)，運(yùn)輸拖延，到貨慢，就會(huì)影響商品的銷路，甚至失去市場(chǎng)。
交貨是指賣方按照同買方約定的時(shí)間、地點(diǎn)和運(yùn)輸方式將合同規(guī)定的貨物交付給買方或其代理人。裝運(yùn)一般是指將貨物裝上運(yùn)輸工具，它與交貨是兩個(gè)不同的概念。但是，在國(guó)際商務(wù)中，由于采用F.O.B、
C.F.R 和 C.I.F 三種價(jià)格術(shù)語(yǔ)，賣方只要根據(jù)合同的有關(guān)規(guī)定將貨物裝上船，取得提單，就算交貨。提單簽發(fā)日期亦即為交貨日。因此，裝運(yùn)一詞常被用來(lái)代替交貨的概念。 這種憑單交貨被稱為象征性交貨。（實(shí)際交貨是指貨物運(yùn)抵目的地，因而，裝運(yùn)時(shí)間與交貨時(shí)間是并不一致的。）憑單交貨時(shí)，裝運(yùn)期和交貨期是一致的。在買賣合同中，合理地規(guī)定裝運(yùn)期（交貨期）是很重要的。裝運(yùn)期（交貨期）可分為三種：定期裝運(yùn)、近期裝運(yùn)和不定期裝運(yùn)。

Conversations
Dialogue 1
A: Now we have settled the terms of payment. Is it possible to effect shipment during September?
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 our Customs formalities are rather compli- cated.
B: I understand.
A: Besides, the flow through the marketing channels and the red tape involved take at least a couple of weeks. Thus, after ship- ment it will be four to five weeks altogether before the goods can reach our retailers. The goods must therefore be shipped
before October;otherwise we won’t be in time for the selling season.
-- 現(xiàn)在我們已經(jīng)談妥了付款條件，你方是否能夠在九月份裝船?
-- 我看不行。
-- 那么最早什么時(shí)候可以裝船呢?
-- 恐怕要在十月中旬。
-- 那太遲了。你知道，在我方市場(chǎng)上，十一月份是這種商品的上 市季節(jié)，而我們的海關(guān)手續(xù)又相當(dāng)復(fù)雜。
-- 我明白。
-- 另外，通過銷售渠道以及繁瑣的公文程序，起碼要花上幾個(gè)星 期。這樣從裝船后到我們的零售商收到貨物，總共要用四、五 個(gè)星期。因此，十月份前貨物必須裝船，否則我們就趕不上銷 售季節(jié)了。
B: But our factories are fully committed for the third quarter. In fact, many of our clients are placing 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 to us. If we place our goods on the market at a time when all other importers have already sold their 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 previous years. 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 customer like 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 a special 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.
