4. 采用汇付方式结算时，通常先由汇款人向汇出行填交汇款申请书，委托该行办理汇款业务；汇出行一旦接受委托，便有义务根据汇款申请书的指示向汇入行发出付款委托书；汇入行在收到汇出行的汇款委托书后，再依据汇款委托书的指示向收款人解付货款。采用汇付方式结算时，通常先由汇款人向汇出行填交汇款申请书，委托该行办理汇款业务；汇出行一旦接受委托，便有义务根据汇款申请书的指示向汇入行发出付款委托书；汇入行在收到汇出行的汇款委托书后，再依据汇款委托书的指示向收款人解付货款。

5. 汇付涉及到四个当事人： • 1. 汇款人(Remitter)：是指通过银行汇付款项的一方，通常是进口人或债务人。 • 2.收款人(Payee，Beneficiary) ：是指接受汇付款项的人，在国际贸易中通常为出口人。 • 3. 汇出行(Remitting Bank)：是指接受汇款人委托并依照汇款委托书的要求，在规定时间以规定方式汇出相应款项的银行。在国际贸易中汇出行通常是进口方所在地银行。是接受汇款人的委托，汇出款项的银行，通常是进口人所在地的银行。 • 4. 汇入行(Receiving Bank) ：是指接受汇出行委托解付相关款项给收款人的银行，在国际贸易中通常是出口方所在地银行。

8. 实际使用 • 预付 • 预付货款(payment in advance) • 随订单付现(cash with order, CWO) • 后付 • 记账交易(open account, O/A) • 交货付现(cash on delivery, COD)

9. 托收（Collection）分为光票托收和跟单托收。 • 光票托收 Clean Collection • 跟单托收 Documentary Collection • 承兑交单（Documents Against Acceptance or D/A） • 付款交单（Documents Against Payment or D/P） • 即期付款交单（D/P at sight） • 远期付款交单（D/P after sight）

10. 托收的当事人主要有： • 1. 委托人(Consignor or principal or drawer) • 一般为出口商，作为贸易合同的卖方，他首先要按合同规定交付货物，而后才能通过提交有关单证委托银行收取货款；作为向银行办理托收的委托人，为商业汇票的出票人，他应依委托书的约定交纳相关的银行费用。 • 2. 托收行(Remitting bank) • 是接受委托人的委托，再转托其在进口国的分行和代理行（即代收行）代为收款的银行，托收行最主要的职责就是严格按照委托书的要求向代收行作业务指示，对于委托书中的未尽事宜，按银行业务的常规处理。

11. 3. 代收行（Collecting bank），又称为寄单行 • 接受委托行的委托，并依据其委托指令交单的银行，他必须在进口方赎单以前保管好单据，并在遭到进口方拒付时或拒绝承兑时及时通知托收行。 • 4. 付款人(Drawee) • 一般为进口商，其最主要的义务就是依据合同规定付款赎单，同样也有权对不符合合同规定的货物拒绝付款。

12. 5. 提示行(Presenting Bank) 是向付款人提示汇票的银行，为代收行或代收行转托的与付款人有往来账户关系的银行。 • 6. 需要时代理(Principal Representative in case of Need) 是委托人在托收申请书中指定的在付款地的代理人，如果汇票遭到付款人拒付，就由该代理人代为料理货物存仓、转售、运回等事宜。

17. 10.3 Specimen Letters（样函） Letter 1：Ask for easier terms of payment Dear Mr. Deng, We’ve studied the specifications and price-list of our new paints and now wish to place the enclosed order with you. As we are in urgent need of several of the items, we should be glad if you make up and ship the order as soon as you possibly can. In the past, we have dealt with you on sight credit basis. Now, we would like to propose a different way of payment, i.e., when the goods purchased by us are ready for shipment and the freight space booked, you cable us and we will remit you the full amount by T/T.

18. The reasons are we can thus more confidently assure our buyers of the time of delivery and save a lot of expenses on opening the letter of credit. As we feel this would not make much difference to you but would facilitate our sales, we hope you will grant our request. We look forward to your confirmation of our order and your affirmative reply to our new arrangements of payment. Yours faithfully, Alexander Tunk

19. Letter 2：A reply to Letter 1 Dear Mr. Tunk, We are pleased to acknowledge your order for our new paints. The arrangements you proposed to meet outstanding accounts are quite satisfactory. All items included in your order can be supplied from stock and will be packed and shipped immediately your remittance by T/T is received. Yours sincerely, Xiang Deng

20. Letter 3：Request for payment by D/A Dear Mr. Liu, Thank you for your letter of 4th of June, which arrived this morning. We are pleased that you have been able to ship our order in good time but we are surprised that you still demand payment against documents. After long years of satisfactory trading we feel that we are entitled to easier terms. Most of our suppliers are drawing on us at 60 d/s, documents against acceptance, and we should be grateful if you could grant us the same terms. We are looking forward to your favorably reply. Yours faithfully, Billy Singh

21. Letter 4：A reply to Letter 3 Dear Mr. Singh, We have received your letter in which you ask for an easier term of payment. In consideration of the very pleasant business relationship we have had with your firm for more than 15 years, we have decided to agree to your suggestion. We shall, therefore, in future draw on you at 60 d/s, documents against acceptance, and trust that this term will suit your requirements. We hope that our concession will result in a considerable increase of your orders and assure you that we shall always endeavor to execute them to your complete satisfaction. Yours faithfully, Mark Liu

22. Letter 5：Propose to pay by D/P at sight Dear Sirs, We wish to place with you an order for 100 leather handbags. For this particular order we would like to pay by D/P at sight. Involved about USD2 000, this order is comparatively a little one. It goes without saying that we very appreciate the support you have extended us in the past. If you can do us a special favor this time, please send us your contract, upon receipt of which we will establish the draft of D/P. Yours faithfully, Wan Wang

23. Letter 6：A reply to Letter 5 Dear Mr. Wang, We are in receipt of your letter of August 22. Having studied your suggestion for payment by D/P at sight for USD2 000, it is quite difficult for us to accept that. As our usual practice goes, we require payment by confirmed and irrevocable letter of credit. That is to say, at present, we can’t accept D/P terms in all transactions with our customers abroad. I regret to say that we must adhere to our usual practice and hope that this will not affect our future business relations. Yours sincerely, Don Torend
