国际贸易术语解释通则的注释
1. Underlying Contract ? Incoterms were designed to be used within the context of a written contract for the sale of goods. Incoterms, therefore, refer to the contract of sale, rather than the contract of carriage of the goods. Buyers and sellers should specify that their contract be governed by Incoterms 2000.
管辖合同 — 国际贸易术语解释通则在设计上是用于书面的货物销售合同的。所以，国际贸易术语解释通则援引销售合同而非货物运输合同。买卖双方应该明确他们的合同受《国际贸易术语解释通则2000》管辖。
2. EXW and FCA ? If you buy Ex Works or Free Carrier you will need to arrange for the contract of carriage. Also, since the shipper will not receive a bill of lading, using a letter of credit requiring a bill of lading will not be possible.
EXW和FCA — 如果你以EXW或FCA购买商品，你需要商定运输合同。而且，由于托运人不接受提单，使用要求提供提单的信用证是不可能的。
3. EDI: Electric Data Interchange ? It is increasingly common for seller to prepare and transmit documents electronically. Incoterms provides for EDI so long as buyers and sellers agree on their use in the sales contract.
电子数据交换 — 卖方采用电子方式填写和传递文件已经变得越来越普遍。国际贸易术语解释通则对电子数据交换已经作出了规定，只要买卖双方在销售合同中同意采用即可。
4. Insurable Interest ? Note that in many cases either the buyer or the seller is not obligated to provide insurance. In a number of cases neither party is obligated to provide insurance. However, both the seller and buyer should be aware that they may have insurable interest in the goods and prudence dictates purchase of insurance coverage.
可保利益 — 注意，在多数情况下，不是买方就是卖方没有办理保险的义务。在许多情况下，任何一方都没有办理保险的义务。然而买卖双方应该明白，他们在货物上有可保利益存在，基于谨慎原则要购买保险。
5. Customs of the Port or Trade ? Incoterms are an attempt to standardize trade terms for all nations and all trades. However, different ports and different trades have their own customs and practices. It is best if specific customs and practices are specified in the sale contract.
港口或行业习惯 — 国际贸易术语解释通则试图对所有国家和所有行业的贸易术语实行标准化。然而不同的港口和不同的行业都有它们自己的习惯和做法。最好在销售合同中明确这些具体的习惯和做法
6. Precise Point of Delivery ? In some cases it may not be possible for the buyer to name the precise point of delivery at contract. However, if the buyer does not do so in a timely manner, it may give the seller the option to make delivery within a range of places that is within the terms of the contract. For example, the original terms of sale may state CFR Port of Rotterdam. The Port of Rotterdam is huge an the buyer may find that a particular point within the port is best and should so state in the sales contract and in the trade term. Also, since the buyer becomes liable for the goods once they arrive, he or she may be responsible for unloading, storage and other charges once the goods have been made available at the place named.
准确的交货地点 — 在某些情况下，要求买方在合同中指定准确的交货地点是不可能的。但是，如果买方不及时指定准确交货地点，卖方就有权在合同条款规定范围内的多个地点交货。例如，原销售条款可能规定CFR鹿特丹港。鹿特丹港很大，而且买方可能会发现，该港口某特定地点是最佳的，那么就应该在销售合同和贸易条件中加以说明。而且，由于一旦货物到达，买方就应对货物负责。一旦货物在指定地点交付以后，他或她可能要负责卸货、仓储和其他费用。
