In the process of signing an import contract, you should pay attention to the following issues.
(i) The signing of an import trade contract must comply with the provisions of the law
First, the parties to the contract must have the same intention.
Second, the parties to the contract must have the ability to enter into a contract.
Finally, the subject matter and content of the contract must be legal and the parties must enter into the contract on a voluntary and genuine basis. It is illegal to sign a trade contract for contraband such as smuggled goods, drugs, etc., and it is also illegal to sign a trade contract with a country (region) that prohibits trade with the country.
(ii) The content of the contract should be consistent with the content recognized by both parties during the transaction negotiation
The formulation of the terms must be strict and there must be no omissions. The rights and obligations of both parties must be clarified to avoid uncertain or ambiguous content appearing in the terms. This should be paid more attention to when stipulating terms such as quality, packaging, objections and claims.
(III) The provisions of the contract clauses must be consistent and there must be no conflicts.
For example, if the quantity clause stipulates the over- or under-loading clause, then the payment clause should also stipulate the corresponding increase or decrease in the payment amount.
