2. The date of shipment is the sailing time of the shipping company; Speaking of the date of shipment, we often say that the goods will be shipped in several stages, such as two or five stages, which means customs declaration on Tuesday and sailing on Friday, that is, the goods will be delivered to the port before Tuesday;

The delivery date refers to the date when the seller loads the goods on the means of transport to reach the destination (port) or hands them over to the carrier, which is customarily called "shipment period". The date of issuance of ocean bill of lading refers to the date of shipment of goods, and the date of issuance of railway waybill, air waybill, parcel receipt and international multimodal transport document refers to the date when the goods are loaded on the means of transport or the carrier receives and takes over the goods. If the letter of credit does not specify the delivery date, the beneficiary usually submits the transport documents no later than the expiry date of the letter of credit. In China's export business, it is usually required that the negotiation maturity date of the letter of credit should be 15 days after the delivery deadline.

In international trade sales contracts, there are generally the following methods to specify the delivery date (shipment date):

1. Specify the delivery date.

According to the regulations, shipment must be made within a few days after receiving the letter of credit or advance payment.

3. Use terminology to express the delivery date

Some terms are used in international trade, such as "immediate shipment", "prompt shipment" and "prompt shipment". According to article 46, paragraph 6 of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits (Publication No.500) of the International Chamber of Commerce, the terms "presentation" and "immediate" should not be used.

If the delivery date is not accurate, it is understandable, because the products are manufactured by the factory. Only in the following ways can timely detection and early warning be realized:

1. The factory is required to provide the production schedule.

2. Reserve expansion space for yourself.

3. Keep abreast of the production situation of the factory and follow up (on site).

4. To judge and warn the progress of the stage that has not been completed on time.

Of course, you can also ignore it and add a clause in the order, and deduct 1% of the payment for each delayed delivery. As long as the factory accepts, take this threat!
