FOB條項の定義: FOB(Free On Board)條件では、売主は指定された積出港まで貨物を輸送し、輸出通関手続きを擔當します。貨物が船側(cè)を通過した時點で、リスクと費用の責(zé)任は買主に移転します。この條件は通常、売主が貨物の船積み後、速やかに最終代金を受け取る必要があることを意味します。
Dear [Customer’s Boss’s Name], I hope this message finds you well. I’m reaching out to discuss the final payment for our recent shipment under FOB terms, which has been outstanding for about 15 days since the shipment date. As per our agreement, the payment is typically expected within a week after the bill of lading is issued. However, we understand from your team that there might be a delay until two weeks before the goods arrive at the port, which is quite late compared to our usual business practices. We request your assistance to expedite the final payment to ensure a smooth continuation of our business relationship. Could you kindly confirm a more immediate payment date so we can finalize the transaction and continue our partnership effectively? Thank you for your attention to this matter. We look forward to your prompt response. Best regards, [Your Name]
