Chapter Four Offers and Quotations Section One Introduction 概述

在业务交往中,报盘或报价都是很重要的一个步骤。

报盘是按照规定的条款供应某种商品的一种承诺,报价只是卖方愿意按什么价格供应某一种商品。报盘中,卖方不仅仅要给出所要卖的商品的价格,还要说明所有其他所有条款,以便买方考虑或接受。但是,如果报价单里包含其他交易条款,那么,这个报价单自然成为报盘。

报盘可以是有时间限制的实盘,也可以是没有时间限制的虚盘。在规定时间内,按照规定的价格出售某种货物为实盘。实盘信要写得清楚、具体、完整。而虚盘在买方接受后必须要由卖方最后确认才能有效。报盘时这一点必须要说清楚,以避免以后的纠纷。

报盘或盘价可以是会复对方的询盘,也可以是为了扩大出口而主动向对方报盘。 一封好的报盘信要包扩以下几点: 1)感谢对方的询盘,如有必要。

2)报盘信中需说明品名、质量或规格、数量、祥细的价格条款、折扣、支付条款、装运期、包装条款以便买方做决定。

3)如果是实盘,要说明有效期,如果是虚盘,也要给出相应说明。 4)对商品可以给出适当的评价。

5)最后可以补充一小段来吸引对方注意你公司其他商品。 6)表达希望收到对方定单的愿望。

可以是以写信的形式报盘,也可以是电报、电传或传真报盘,如果是电报报盘,通常还会再写一封信。 要注意的是,卖方在该实盘有效期内不得撤出,只有买方才能在有效期内接受或拒绝或换盘。如果买方已接受,该报盘就具有合同意义。因此,任何一家有信誉的卖家都不会在规定的时间内冒着损坏其信誉的危险去撤出报盘。

当买方拒绝报盘或报价时,要写回信感谢对方,讲明拒绝的原因,如果不这样做的话,显得你很没有礼貌。 一封拒绝信要包扩下列几点:
