12、收到貨物，賣方的交貨是通過貨交承運人并獲得相關(guān)單據(jù)(尤其是物權(quán)憑證)來實現(xiàn)的。而相應(yīng)的，買方必須接受交貨，也就是買方必須接受賣方提供的相應(yīng)單據(jù)并履行相關(guān)支付的義務(wù)。(1)答案：Yes答題切入點：1)賣方履行其義務(wù)的情況；2)CIF術(shù)語對雙方交貨、領(lǐng)受貨物的規(guī)定；3)解釋“symbolicdelivery”在這里的應(yīng)用。(2)答案：Thebuyer答題切入點：CIF術(shù)語下風(fēng)險轉(zhuǎn)移的情況。由于本章主要討論貿(mào)易術(shù)語的應(yīng)用，關(guān)注的主要是買、賣雙

13、方。如果答案是保險公司，則要求說明損失的風(fēng)險首先是由買方承擔(dān)的，在風(fēng)險屬于保險公司承保范圍內(nèi)的情況下，保險公司會對買方進行部分或全部的賠償。4.AShanghaicompanysignedaCIFcontracttosellChristmasgoodstoaBritishcompany.TheUSD1millioncontractstipulated“Thesellerguaranteesthatthegoodsarriveatthep

15、acceptthegoods.AsaresultthegoodshadtobesoldonthespotthesellerlostUSD700000.Commentonthiscase.析：賣方受損的原因是貨物達到目的港的時間晚于合同規(guī)定的時間，因此買方拒收貨物。從表面上看，似乎問題就是出在賣方違約上，但如果仔細分析就會發(fā)現(xiàn)，該合同本身的內(nèi)容就存在自相矛盾的問題。合同用的是CIF術(shù)語，賣方在貨裝上船時風(fēng)險就轉(zhuǎn)移。賣方既不承擔(dān)運輸途中的風(fēng)

16、險，也不保證貨物是否能抵達目的港。CIF合同本質(zhì)上是一個“shipmentcontract”。但加上一條保證到岸時間的條款后，合同的性質(zhì)發(fā)生了變化：它變成了一個“arrivalcontract”。也就是說，在貨物按時抵達目的港之前的一切風(fēng)險都由賣方承擔(dān)，否則賣方就是違約。答題切入點：1)CIF術(shù)語對雙方風(fēng)險及義務(wù)的劃分，點出“shipmentcontract”這一概念；2)解釋“arrivaldate”clause對合同性質(zhì)的改變。5.

20、signedthecontractundera“到岸價“theybookedtheshippingcompanytheywouldberesponsiblefwhathappened.AsaresulttheChinesesidecompensated.Commentonthiscase.析：1)賣方按照合同規(guī)定履行了各項義務(wù)，造成貨物到港延誤的原因是船公司擅自改變運輸安排，賣方對此并不知情。2)賣方把CIF理解成“到岸價格”存在錯誤，

21、混淆了承擔(dān)風(fēng)險與承擔(dān)費用的區(qū)別。如果把CIF理解成“到岸價格”，那么CIF就變成了一個到岸合同術(shù)語(arrivalcontractterm)了，而實際上它應(yīng)該是個裝運合同術(shù)語(shipmentcontractterm)。3)因此，賣方在此情況下不應(yīng)進行賠償，而是應(yīng)該協(xié)助買方向船方進行索賠。答題切入點：1)分析買方受損的真正原因及責(zé)任方：2)解釋賣方錯誤賠償?shù)脑颍?)給出本案例正確的處理方法，尤其是賣方應(yīng)該如何應(yīng)對買方的要求。Chapt
