Location: Hilton Hotel, Taras Shevchenko Boulevard, 30, Kiev
P.S. If you are a trader, but have not yet exported, we also have a few chairs for you.
MAIN THEMES
• Let's start over. You have found a buyer. How to start negotiations and conclude foreign economic contracts? And what are the forms of these contracts?
• Moving on. Negotiated, at what point is the contract considered concluded? Are there verbal agreements and electronic correspondence?
• We assume that you no longer sell grain from the field and know what the FOB or CPT basis is. But let's fix once again what is the difference between CPT, DAP, CIF, FOB.
• GAFTA, FOSFA - "I don't remember exactly the nuances, but traders somehow threatened that they would file a lawsuit here." In simple words, we explain the main trading arbitrations.
• The other party has not fulfilled the contract. We explain what you can apply for.
• Okay, if this is a trader, he has no property. What is the procedure for claiming damages? Don't worry, there are chances, and we'll tell you about them.
