CHAPTER THREE BASIC KNOWLEDGE ABOUT IMPORT AND EXPORT I. DEFINITION: Import and Export is an activity of selling or buying goods abroad which is based on a sale contracts between two parties. Export process depends on the elements that will have some different. For instance, in my company, there are two export methods: direct export and indirect export II. FOR DIRECT EXPORT: Direct exporting occurs when a manufacturer or exporter sells directly to an importer or buyer located in a foreign market area. Advantages: - Thorough knowledge of foreign markets. The product can determine readily what adaptations of his product are necessary to fit the needs and desires of foreign buyers. - A full return from export sales. As export business develops, there is no sharing of profits with other organizations. - Help the exporting company can make a control of sales promotion and marketing strategies. Disadvantages: - A large initial monetary outlay is required to establish export markets. - Large investment capitals. - Own brand mark, trade mark, industrial designs are required. - The business executive must be competence at marketing, foreign trade technique… III. FOR INDIRECT EXPORT This is a kind of exporting methods that a company (called agents) which have right to export the goods will handle the exporting process for the company (merchants) which do not have the right to export directly. The basic distinction between the two is the merchant takes title to the products to be sold, while the agent does not. The agent will receive a entrusting- commission. This commission will be fluctuate between 0% and 1,5%. Advantages: - Help small company have a chance to export their goods - The middleman is usually the person who can have a thorough knowledge of the law and the customs in foreign markets. So the risks of the manufacturer will decrease. - The middleman often has material facilities in foreign countries, the manufacturer can cut off the foreign-investment expenses. Disadvantages: - The manufacturer can not get in touch with the market. - The manufacturer must satisfy the demand of the middleman - The profits must be shared. VI. COMMERCIAL CONTRACT: International sale contract means an agreement that regulates the rights and obligations of parties with regard to the sale and purchases of the products. A common international sale contract usually has 03 main parts: Part 1: name of the contract, contract number, date and place contract signed, name and address of 02 parties Part 2: the main articles of a contract Part 3: signature of the contract parties. Main articles in a common international sale contract: ART1: Commodity Define the name of the commodities. The name should be written with technical and commercial name, with name of manufacturer, with origin country and so on. ART 2: Quality The commodities must be satisfied with the standard and quality which has been regulated by two parties. The quality can be defined by samples, by describing in details, by standard of the exporter… ART 3: Quantity This article will define the quantity of the commodities, types of weight (gross weight or net weight)… ART 4: Shipment / delivery Regulate the time of shipment, place of shipment, mode of shipment, notification of delivery. ART 5: Price Currency of price, methods of identify price, discount, terms of sale ART 6: Payment Make clear of currency of payment, time of payment, method of payment, documentary credit … ART 7: Packaging and marking Packaging: quality of the packaging, the methods of providing packaging, the price of the packaging. Marking: specific marking and labeling are used on export to meet shipping regulations, to ensure proper handling and to help receiver identify shipments. ART 8: Warranty Regulate the scope of warranty and the duration of warranty. ART 9: Penalty In the event of late delivery, late payment … ART 10: Insurance This article will assign that the insurance will be covered by the seller or the buyer? Which conditions of Insurance? ART 11: Force majeure Force majeuce shall be understood to be unforeseeable, unavoidable and impossible to overcome. Listing events are considered force majeuce such as war, riot, insurrections, strikes, lockout, government regulations, fire, explosion, flood, storm, earthquake and other abnormal natural event. ART 12: Claim Claim means a suggestion is brought our by one party because of the discrepancy in quantity (damage/shortfall) or quality and other issues are not in conformity with contract. In this article, two parties must negotiate about sequence of claim, claim period, liability of two parties for claim, required documents for claim. ART 13: Arbitration Disputes between the parties can be resolved in one of two ways: by an amicable settlement between parties themselves, by arbitration. If amicable settlement is not possible, most international contracts specify arbitration. Arbitration article shall be stipulated: applicable law, place of arbitration, who shall bear arbitration costs? ART 14: Other terms and condition With the above-mentioned articles, we can not delete any article because of having many risks V. THE METHODS OF PAYMENT In general, most of the international sale contracts use L/C as the most common methods of payment. Although this is the most secure method of Payment, it also has its own disadvantages. Therefore, the exporter has to be more careful and must cut the risks down at a minimum by follow the some tip below: Risk from the issuing bank: this bank can not afford the payment for the exporter. Solution: - Choosing the issuing bank which has prestige in payment - L/C should be confirmed by the third party (confirming bank) Risk due to not completing the L/C terms and conditions. The main reasons are: late delivery, inappropriate quality and quantity goods… Solution: - Plan the schedule for the time of collecting the goods for export. If the schedule can not meet the L/C’s requirement, the company should have an amendment... - In case of transmission (allowed): the exporter must investigate the route and which one the shipping company can know thoroughly. - In case of partial (allowed): the company should pay attention about such as : how many times and the exact time of each partial? … The risk of payment due to discrepant documents: Solution: - Arrange skillful employee in exporting documentary department - Choose the goodwill partners - Examine and investigate the L/C carefully - Negotiate with the importer from the negotiating stage about the documents that the exporter has to submit to the paying bank. Besides L/C, the company should diversify the method of payments because this is a high-fee and complicated method. So, the enterprise should change to CAD or T/T… if the partners are prestige or habitual ones. CHAPTER FOUR PROCESS OF CUSTOMS PROCEDURE FOR IMPORT AND EXPORT COMMODITY I.MAKING CUSTOM PROCEDURE: I have good chances to participate in carrying out customs procedures for importing and exporting goods, the customs declarers must submit and present a customs dossier at the headquarters of Customs Sub-branch and be responsible for legality and lawfulness of customs dossiers and accurateness of declared contents on customs declaration form. To customs procedures in Viet Nam, I would like to focus on two points: processing imports and exports a. Processing imports: General procedures and requirements: Declaration, calculation, duty collection or notification tax, examination and release of goods. Procedures for entry before clearance: After lodging the manifest to the customs offices as the check-point and accepted by customs, goods can be unloaded to the warehouse Import declaration: Goods imported are subject to customs declaration within 30 days from the of arrival at the check-point. Documentary requirement: Import declaration form.

Payment of duties and taxes: Duties and taxes can be collected at the customs check-point or through the bank. Examination and release of goods: Imported goods will be released after duty collection and duty amount notification or duty collection and examination. b. Processing export: Time and place of loading of goods: Goods to be exported are allowed to be loaded at a specified port o r place for exportation. Loading time should b e done during working hours by the customs office. Export declaration: The export declaration form is the same as the import declaration form. The validity period is 15 days from the date of its registration at the customs office.

Examination and release of goods: All goods for exportation must be examined by customs. Customs can conduct on the spot examination or detailed examination depending on the characteristics of the goods. One examination is completed, goods will be authorized to be loaded on the vessel. II. SHIPPING THE PRODUCT: If the goods are exported with the term C or term D, the buyer has the duty to rent the transportation. There are 02 common kinds of transportation: Transportation by air: Advantages : fast, flexible Disadvantages: high transportation freight, so it is just suitable for small cargoes and high-value cargoes Transportation by sea: Advantages: big capacity, be adaptable for many kinds of cargo, transport cost is lower than others. Disadvantages: depend on natural and marine conditions, bear risks such as wrecking, burning, colliding, missing … III. INSURANCE: When exporting with CIF, CIP or D terms, the seller must buy insurance. a. Conditions of Insurance: Institute Cargo Clause C – ICC (C) or Institute Cargo Clause FPA: Free Particular Average Institute Cargo Clause B - ICC (B) or Institute Cargo Clause WA : With Particular Average Institute Cargo Clause A – ICC (A) or Institute Cargo Clause AR: All Risks. b)How to choose the Conditions of insurance? When the goods are exporting in CIP or CIF term, the seller has duty to buy the insurance conditions satisfied the terms & conditions has been agreed in the sale contract or in the L/C (if any). If the insurance conditions do not make clear in the contract or L/C, the seller should choose FPA or ICC(C) condition. If the goods are exporting in D term, the seller should consider carefully. The exporter should choose the conditions which are safe for our goods and can get the maximum profits. After delivery, the exporters submit the payment-documentary to the bank to get payment. The payment-documentary needs to be exactly, suitable for the L/C (if any) or complied with the sale contract. CHAPTER FIVE CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION I.
