Foreign trade fraud case
Written by Jamesdong
Several months ago, in international commercial city, a trade company named “SUNNY GENERAL TRADING INC” placed an order worth ï¿¥ 50ï¼000 buying suitcases from Ms. Zhang. All the suitcases can be divided into six categories and two categories products need to be lengthened and widened.
According to the agreement they have reached before, the products were delivered in two batches. The first three categories have been delivered and transacted well and payment was processed well. The remainder three categories have some trouble. The international buyer said one category of product was produced in smaller size about 1 centimeter.
In fact 1 centimeter was normal deviation in expert’s view.
The international buyer insisted on holding the wrong point, and Ms. Zhang was forced to compromise to get back the products at the end.
Several days later, the international buyer told Ms. Zhang that the remainder three categories they could accept totally, but the price of the categories with wrong size need to be reduced.
We can see many foreign trade cases in which international buyers picked defectives to force suppliers to cut down price in the end. In fact the products are good without any problems and the buyer really bought in the end. The key point is price.
