Y our proposal for payment by time draft for Order No.1156 is acceptable to us, and we shall draw on you at 60 day’s sight after the goods have been shipped.

Among the clauses specified in your Credit No.4567, we find that the following two points do not conform to the contract stipulations: (1)……….(2)………..As the goods are now ready for shipment, you are requested to amend the L/C by cable as soon as possible.2. We are pleased to inform you that L/C NO.H-15 issued by the Chartered Bank of Liverpool for our S/C No.187 has just been received. However, on examining (going through) the clauses contained therein, we regretfully find that certain points are not in conformity with the terms stipulated in the contract. The discrepancies are as follows:Commission is 3%, not 6%.Shipment is to be make during Oct./Nov. instead of “on or before 30th October”.Goods should be insured for 110% of the invoice value, not 150%.3. Please extend the shipment date and the validity of your L/C No.4761 to November 30 and December 15,19--,failing which it will be absolutely impossible for us to ship the goods in November.4. Much to our regret, we are unable to comply with your request for an extension to our L/C No.145, the reason being that the present import regulations do not permit any extension of import licence. We wish to point out it is not that we are unwilling to cooperate with you but that it is beyond our ability to meet your request for an extension. In the circumstances, we can do nothing but ask you to be so kind as to ship the good as contracted.5. The commission allowed for this transaction is 3% as clearly stipulated in our Contract No.135, but we find that your L/C No.557 demands a commission of 5%. This is obviously not in line with the contract stipulations. We shall therefore be grateful if you will instruct your bankers to amend the L/C to read “commission 3%”.6. We thank you for your L/C No.789, but on checking its clauses we find with regret that your L/C calls for shipment in October, 19--, whereas our contract stipulates for November shipment. Therefore, it is imperative for you to extend the shipment date to November 30, and negotiation date to December 10, 19—respectively. Please act promptly and let us have your cable reply the soonest possible.思考：每个句子有哪些不同的表达法，哪些词汇可以用其他短语（词汇）来替代，参考译文有没有什么值Unit 11 Packing P199 Part ⅣTranslation1. Cartons as a kind of packing container have been extensively used in international trade. Therefore, you need not worry about their seaworthiness.2. So far as we know, insurance accompanies accept goods packed in cartons to be insured against TPND. In case of theft and pilferage, you may be assured that you will get indemnification from the insurance company concerned.3. The traces of pilferage are easier to be found out for the goods packed in cartons than in wooden cases. There fore, they will help you to get compensation from the insurance company.4. The packing of our Men’s Shirts is each in a poly bag, 5 dozen to a carton lined with waterproof paper and bound with two iron straps outside.5. It is necessary to make transshipment at Hamburg for goods to be shipped to our port; therefore, your packing must be seaworthy and can stand rough handling during transit.6. The quality of your Ginseng Wine is fine, but its packing is rather poor. Bottles are subjected to breakage and paper boxes are very thin. Please put each bottle in a foam plastic casing and then in a thicker paper box for out future orders, otherwise, we shall be compelled to give up this business.7. Prices of goods usually include the cost of packing. The phrase “including export packing”means that the quotation includes the cost of package suitable for export. If the quotation does not include the cost of package, the phrase “Export packing is for buyer’s account”should be inserted in the contract.8. The exported has to give due consideration to the pacing of the goods to be shipped abroad, and try his best to pack the goods in accordance with the instructions of the buyer.9. In the construction of an export package, the important factors of efficiency and economy must be taken into consideration. The exporter should bear in mind that the goods should be packed ina manner which ensure their safe arrival at the destination and facilitates their handling in transit.10. Our cotton prints are packed in cases lined with kraft paper and water-proof paper, each consisting of 30 pieces in one design with 5 color ways equally assorted.Unit 12 Insurance P214 Part ⅢTranslation1. Please see to it that the above-mentioned goods are to be shipped before 15th June and insured against All Risks for 150% of the invoice value. We know that according to your usual practice, you insure the goods only for 110% of the invoice value; therefore, the extra premium will be borne by us.2. An insurance claim should be submitted to the insurance company or its agent as promptly as possible so as to provide the insurance company of its agent with ample time to pursue recovery3. We regret to inform you that Case NO.8 was invoiced as containing 10 type writers, eight of which were badly damaged upon arrival. We enclose an inspection certificate issued by the Shanghai Commodity Inspection Bureau and the shipping agent’s statement and hope that no difficulty will arise in the settlement of our above claim amounting to USD 3,000.00.4. In the absence of your definite instructions regarding insurance, we covered your ordered goods against W.P.A for 110% of the invoice value according to our usual practice.5. If you desire to cover your goods against All Risks, we can provide such coverage, but at a slightly higher premium, the difference of which will be for your account.6. Should any damage be incurred, you may, within 30 days after the arrival of the consignment at the port of destination, approach the insurance agents at your end and file your claim with them supported by a survey report.7. If the good, after arrival at the port of destination, are to be transported immediately to an inland city or other port, we may cover the inland insurance on your behalf and debit you with the additional premium/Unit 13 Shipment P231 Part ⅢTranslation1.

We trust you will ship the order within the stipulated time as any delay would cause us no little inconvenience and financial loss.2. We regret our inability to comply with your request for shipping the goods in early December, because the direct steamer sailing for London calls at our port only around the 20th every month.3. We are pleased to inform you that the goods under your Order NO. 1234 were shipped by the direct steamer “Red Star” on Nov. 30, and the relevant shipping samples had been dispatched to you by air before the steamer sailed.4. Up to now, we have not heard anything from you about the shipment of your Contract NO. 8269 against our Order No. 456. No doubt there must have been some reason for the delay in shipment and we cabled you that we were extending the L/C to the end of Nov. 1996. We feel sure we shall soon be hearing from you about this business.5. Having received no instructions from you regarding the shipment of your order, we have now been compelled to cancel the shipping space already booked.6. It seems that you paid little regard to the date of shipment. In fact, it is very important that the goods be shipped according to the time as stipulated in the L/C. If not, you should be responsible for any loss arising from the delay in shipment.7. With regard to your Order NO.80 for 500Sewing Machines, we shipped the goods by s. s “East Wind” on 30th Nov. We trust that this shipment will arrive at your end shortly. Please let us have the comments of your end-users on the quality of our Sewing Machines.Unit 14 Agency P250 Part ⅣTranslation1.

In case we come to an agreement, it would be necessary for you to commit yourself to place orders for a certain quantity every month. In this way we shall be able to ensure regular supply.7. Owing to heavy commitments, we cannot accept fresh orders at present.Unit 15 Complaints and Adjustments P265 Part ⅡTranslation1. We regret to have to complain about the late delivery of the tractors ordered on 8th July. We did not receive them until this week though you guaranteed September delivery. As you know, it was on the basis of this guarantee that we placed the order with you.2. As your complaint does not agree with the result of our own test, you are requested to conduct another examination to show if there is any ground for claim.3. Any further delay in settling this claim will certainly reflect seriously on your credit, therefore, you must adjust these errors immediately.4.
