產(chǎn)品問題

Brief Introduction

商品的質(zhì)量是對外貿(mào)易中價格的基礎，所有的交易和談判都是在商品本身質(zhì)地的基礎上進行的。那也是為什么越來越多的公司希望通過 ISO國際質(zhì)量體系認證。有了質(zhì)量保證，買方才會放心，企業(yè)也才會有更大的發(fā)展。

A: That’s great. I’m glad we’ll be able to do business together. I’ll have some quotes ready for you by tomorrow morning.

A: I’m interested in all kinds of your products, but this time I would like to order some fireworks and mosquito coil incense. Please quote us C.I.F. Rangoon.

B: All right. Here are our F.O.B. price lists. All the prices are subject to our final confirmation.

A specimen Letter

Dear Sirs:

We confirm email exchanged between us regarding fireworks and mosquito-repellent incense and are glad that we have come to an agreement on the price. Your last email informed us that you could offer us 500 units of a dozen fireworks and 300 cartons of mosquito-repellent incense, which we think is not enough. More and more clients in our country like to buy Chinese products because of their good quality. If we do not take care of the supply of our market, they will naturally turn somewhere else for their needs. So we do hope you can offer us at least 1,000 units of a dozen fireworks and 500 cartons of mosquito-repellent incense.

We appreciate your efforts and cooperation and believe this order will lead to considerable business in the future.

We look forward to your early reply.

……Import Corp.

先生：

茲證實我們雙方關(guān)于煙火和蚊香的往來電報。我們很高興在價格方面達成了協(xié)議。你在上一封電報里通知我們，只能報五百打煙火和三百箱蚊香，這個數(shù)量是不夠的。由于中國商品質(zhì)量好，我們越來越多的客戶喜歡購買它。如我們不能充分供應市場，他們勢必會從別處購買。因此，我們希望你至少能報一千打煙火和五百箱蚊香。

我們感謝你方的努力和合作，相信這次訂貨將會帶來今后更多的交易。

盼早復。
