5. This L/C consists of three sheet(s), including the covering letter and attachment(s).
6. NEGOTIATION OF BENEFICIARY’S DRAFT(S) shoud be at sigt not at 30 DAYS’ SIGHT.
7. “THE INVOICE VALUE OF THE GOODS PLUS 110% COVERING ISALL RKS AND WAR RISK” should be “THE INVOICE VALUE OF THE GOODS PLUS 10% COVERING ISALL RKS AND WAR RISK” .
In addition, as this is the first time we do business with clients in your country, we request the L/C must be confirmed by a first-class bank, which is also clearly stated in the contract. We’ll appreciate it if you can cooperate with us in this regard.
Since the first lot of goods is now ready for shipment, we shall be obliged if you instruct your bank to amend the relevant L/C as soon as possible.

(3)集装箱租赁公司(CONTAINER LEASING COMPANY):专门经营集装箱出租业务的新行业.
(4)集装箱堆场(CONTAINER YARD:CY):指办理集装箱重箱或空箱装卸,转运,保管,交接的场所.
(5)集装箱货运站(CONTAINER FREIGHT STATION:CFS):是处理拼箱货的场所,它办理拼箱货的交接,配载积载后,将箱子送往CY,并接受CY交来的进口货箱,进行拆箱,理货,保管,最后拨给各收货人.同时也可按承运人的委托进行铅封和签发场站收据等业务.
二. 集装箱外尺寸(container's overall external dimensions)
包括集装箱永久性附件在内的集装箱外部最大的长、宽、高尺寸。它是确定集装箱能否在船舶、底盘车、货车、铁路车辆之间进行换装的主要参数。是各运输部门必须掌握的一项重要技术资料。
三. 集装箱内尺寸(container's internal dimensions)
集装箱内部的最大长、宽、高尺寸。高度为箱底板面至箱顶板最下面的距离,宽度为两内侧衬板之间的距离,长度为箱门内侧板量至端壁内衬板之间的距离。它决定集装箱内容积和箱内货物的最大尺寸。
四. 集装箱内容积(container's unobstructed capacity)
按集装箱内尺寸计算的装货容积。同一规格的集装箱,由于结构和制造材料的不同,其内容积略有差异。集装箱内容积是物资部门或其他装箱人必须掌握的重要技术资料。
五. 集装箱计算单位(twenty-feet equivalent units 简称:TEU)
又称20英尺换算单位,是计算集装箱箱数的换算单位。目前各国大部分集装箱运输,都采用20英尺和40英尺长的两种集装箱。为使集装箱箱数计算统一化,把20英尺集装箱作为一个计算单位,40尺集装箱作为两个计算单位,以利统一计算集装箱的营运量。
六. 集装箱租赁 (container leasing)
即所有人将空箱租给使用人的一项业务。集装箱所有人为出租的一方集装箱,与使用人,一般是船公司或货主,为承租的一方,双方签订租赁合同。由出租人提供合格的集装箱交由承租人在约定范围内使用。集装箱的租赁,国际上有多种不同的方式,总括起来有:程租、期租、活期租用和航区内阻赁等。
七. 集装箱装卸区(container terminal)
是集装箱运输中,箱或货装卸交换保管的具体经办部门。它受承运人或其代理人的委托,进行下列各项业务: 对整箱货运的交换、保管; 设有集装箱货运站者,办理拼箱货的交接; 安排集装箱船的靠泊,装卸集装箱,每航次编制配载图; 办理有关货运单证的编签;
编制并签验集装箱运用运载工具的出入及流转的有关单证; 办理集装箱及运载工具、装卸工具的情况检查、维修,以及空箱的清扫、熏蒸等工作; 空箱的收发、存贮和保管;
安排空箱和重箱在堆场的堆码,及编制场地分配计划; 其他有关业务工作。
集装箱装卸区一般由专用码头、前沿、堆场、货运站、指挥塔、修理部门、大门和办公室组成。有时堆场或货运站等可延伸到市区内部事5-15公里的中转站。
八. 集装箱前方堆场(marshalling yard)
是指在集装箱码头前方,为加速船舶装卸作业,暂时堆放集装箱的场地。其作用是:当集装箱船到港前,有计划有次序地按积载要求将出口集装箱整齐地集中堆放,卸船时将进口集装箱暂时堆放在码头前方,以加速船舶装卸作业。
九. 集装箱后方堆场(container yard)
集装箱重箱或空箱进行交接、保管和堆存的场所。有些国家对集装箱堆场并不分前方堆场或后方堆场,统称为堆场。集装箱后方堆场是集装箱装卸区的组成部分。是集装箱运输“场到场”交接方式的整箱货办理交接的场所(实际上是在集装箱卸区“大门口”进行交接的)。
