While we appreciate your good wish to push the sales of our shirts, we are regretful to say that we are unable to entertain your counter - offer of US $ 255 per metric ton CIF Rotterdam.

Part One Basic Knowledge Concerned1.T he Significance and Effect of Counter-offersIn international trade, when the offeree accepts the terms and conditions stated in the offer, the transaction is concluded. However, in most cases, the offeree would reject the terms and conditions or state his own terms and conditions by return. The rejection or partial rejection of the offeree to the offer is called counter-offer. A counter-offer is virtually a counter proposal initiated by the original offeree. In a counter-offer, the buyer may show disagreement to the price, or packing, or shipment and state his own terms instead. Once the counter-offer is made, the original offer is no longer valid, and the offeree now becomes the offeror as the counter-offer becomes the new offer.Counter-offer constitutes the main part of business negotiations. During the negotiation, many issues (such as quality, quantity and packing of the goods, price, shipment, insurance, payment terms, commodity inspection, disputes and settlement of disputes, force majeure, and arbitration, etc.) will be talked about by the sellers and the buyers. So counter-offers are usually time consuming and may go many rounds before business is concluded or dropped.2. Main Contents of a Letter for Counter-OfferA satisfactory letter for counter offer generally includes the following:1) Thank the offeror for his offer, mentioning briefly the contents of the offer.2) Express regret at inability to accept the offer, giving reasons for non-acceptance.3) Make an appropriate counter-offer.4) Hope the counter-offer will be accepted and there may be an opportunity to dobusiness together.Part Two Letter-writing GuidePart Three Other Commonly Used Expressions and Sentences Expressions:1. make (sb.) a counter-offer (as follows) (向某人)还盘(如下)2. (price) on the high/ low side (价格)偏高/低3. current price / ruling price / prevailing price/the present price/ the going price 现行价格4. long-standing business relation 长期业务关系5. be in (out of) line with the market 与市场(不)一致keep with the current market 与现行市场一致6. (price) is rising/advancing/going up. (价格)在持续上扬(price) is falling/dropping/going down. (价格)在持续下降7. to entertain business at … price 按……价格成交8. give/ allow/ make/ grant a discount 给折扣9. leave …with only a small profit 使得……获利低微10. at a price …% lower than …价格比……低……%11. meet sb. half way 各让一半;折中处理12. previous quotation 先前的报价13. market is weak;market is declining 市场疲弱;市场正在下滑14. make any further reduction 再次降价,作进一步的降价15. (price) fixed at a reasonable level 定价合理16. (products) moderately/ too highly priced (产品)定价适中/过高17. (the price) has advanced …% / considerably (价格)已上涨…% /明显上涨18. a jump/slump (in price) 价格飞涨/暴跌Typical Sentences:1. Expressing regret at inability to accept the offer and giving reasons for that. (表达不能接受报盘的遗憾并说明理由)1) Unfortunately we cannot accept your offer for steel furniture. The prices you quoted are much higher than those of other manufacturers.2) We regret that your counter-offer is unacceptable to us since your counter-offerleaves us with only a small profit. We believe that the price we quoted is quite realistic.3) We have cut the price to the limit. We regret, therefore, being unable to complywith your request for any further reduction.4). Although we are anxious to open up business with you, we very much regret thatwe cannot reduce our price to the level you indicated.5) The price we quoted is quite reasonable. It has been accepted by the other buyers atyour end.6) Our price has been narrowly calculated and it is impossible to make any furtherreduction.7) I’m afraid there is no much room for further reduction. You know, the price isadvancing considerably recently.8) Your price is reasonable, but the listed payment conditions are not customary inour trade.9) Owing to heavy bookings, we can not accept fresh orders at present.10) Owing to a shortage of stock, we regret that we are unable to accept your repeatorder.11) As this is an order of substantial size, we cannot safely undertake to complete itsmanufacture in a month.2. Making a counter-offer concretely (给出一个具体的还盘)1) We would suggest that you make some allowance, say 10%, on your quoted pricesso as to enable us to introduce your products to our customers.2) You must reduce your price by 2% otherwise business is impossible.3) We are sorry that the difference/gap between our price and your counter-offer is toowide. The best we can do is 5% off.4) Our counter-offer is well founded and workable. We can also offer a 10% discountfor orders over 10,000 pieces.5) We do not see any advantage in your quotation, and would like to know whetheryou have any better price to offer.6) May we suggest that you could make some allowance on your quoted prices thatwould help to introduce your goods to this market.7) I regret that your terms are unsatisfactory and unless you can amend those termswe will have to place our order elsewhere.8) It is in view of our long-standing business relations that we make you such acounter-offer.Part Four Sample LettersSample 1: Buyer’s Counter-offerNotes:1. figure 这里指数字,即价格2. say 8% 这里是Let’s say 8%的简化,意思相当于for example,即“比方说8%”。

外贸英语函电第六章 Letter of credit

外贸英语函电第六章 Letter of credit
当买方没能开信用证或信用证没能及时到达卖方,卖方通常发电 传或传真给买方,催促开证或弄清信用证的下落。卖方不应该一 开始就强烈谴责买方不履行合同,而应该有礼貌地说明所订购的 货物已备妥,但有关的信用证尚未收到。催开信用证的函电必须 写得得体,目的是要说服买方更密切地合作,并切实履行义务。
卖方收到有关的信用证后,首先应做一次详细的审核,看信用证 中规定的条款是否与销售合同(销货确认书)所订条款完全一致 。如在信用证中发现差异或先前未见到的特殊条款,而卖方又不 能同意,则应通知买方予以修改。当然,如果买方发现信用证中 有需要修改的地方,也可以要求修改。通常的手续是,买方首先 征得卖方同意,然后通知开证行修改信用证。
