小贴士
外贸常用的付款方式：
一、信用证（letter of credit，简称l/c）。
二、汇付，主要包括电汇（telegraphic transfer，简称t/t）、信汇（mail transfer，简称m/t）和票汇（demand draft，简称d/d）3种。
三、托收（collection），主要包括付款交单（documents against payment，简称d/p）和承兑交单（documents against acceptance，简称d/a）两种。
信用证是银行用以保证买方或进口方有支付能力的凭证，是银行有条件保证付款的单证，是目前国际贸易付款方式最常用的一种付款方式。按照这种结算方式的一般规定，买方先将货款交存银行，由银行开立信用证，通知卖方开户银行转告卖方，卖方按合同和信用证规定的条款发货，银行代买方付款。信用证对买方的约束比较大，要占用一定的信用额度和资金，对于卖方来说，信用证比a/p，d/p等方式要保险得多，银行是第一付款人。当然银行也有倒闭的风险，所以选择开证行时银行信用相当重要。
电汇（t/t）是汇款人将一定款项交存汇款银行，汇款银行通过电报或电传给目的地的分行或代理行（汇入行），指示汇入行向收款人支付一定金额的一种汇款方式。付款交单（d/p），是卖方的交单以买方的付款为条件，即买方将汇票连同货运单据交给银行托收时，指示银行只有在买方付清货款时，才能交出货运单据。
承兑交单（d/a），是指出口方的交单以进口方在汇票上承兑为条件。即出口方在装运货物后开具远期汇票和单据，委托银行在进口方承兑汇票后，将商业单据交给进口方，进口方在汇票到期时付款。

怀特先生：好吧。我们同意用纸板箱做外包装。但是包装必须防水、坚固，经得起震动和粗暴搬运。请在纸箱上标明“勿置于重物下”和“注意防水”。
