When you buy from or sell to a foreign market, you need a Contract for the International Sale of Goods or a Sales Contract. It is one of the most commonly used commercial contracts in international trade. It clarifies the rights and obligations of the seller (exporter) and the buyer (importer), defines how the contract should be executed, and ensures that each party’s rights will be enforceable against the other in any defaulting party’s home country.
In more detail, a sales contract with a Chinese party typically includes details such as the parties’ information, a description of the goods or services to be purchased, the price of the goods or services, the delivery date and method, the payment terms, the warranty and guarantee, governing law, and the dispute resolution clauses.
Here are a couple of examples where we suggest having a lawyer qualified in China to draft a customized agreement tailor-made for you:
A well-drafted contract should be based on the applicable law to be valid and enforceable against the counterparty. It will help protect your rights and ensure the due performance of the contract is consistent with the market practice and legal requirements. A lawyer is able to customize the contract to make it suitable for your specific situation, taking into consideration the relationship between the parties, your goals, and your interests.
If you are doing business with a Chinese importer, exporter, or distributor, it is important to have a China-qualified lawyer prepare the sales contract. This is because Chinese law has specific regulations and laws that can be different from those of other countries. By using a lawyer who is familiar with Chinese law, you can ensure that the contract is valid and enforceable in case any disputes arise.
You can do it if your contract is governed by U.S. laws. If your contract is governed by Chinese law, you should have a China-qualified lawyer prepare a customized contract for you.
Even if you and your counterparty agree to use a U.S. law-governed contract, it is recommended to have a China-qualified lawyer review or translate your contract to ensure two things: (i) it does not contain anything that is invalid or unenforceable in China; (ii) the accuracy of the translation.
If your situation does not permit using your own contract (e.g. the other side insists on using their version), you should have a Trustiics-vetted lawyer review the contract to ensure your business interest is protected. In addition, if your counterparty only provides a Chinese language version, you should insist on having it translated by a lawyer or legal translator, and then have your lawyer confirm that the English version and Chinese version are the same. You can find qualified and competent lawyers or legal translators on Trustiics to help you with such a job.
