(1) VN xuất khẩu nhiều nhất electronic machine (từ khi có Samsung đầu tư), footwear (đứng nhì thế
giới), furniture (đồ gỗ), fish (nhiều năm trước ko xuất khẩu cá được vì transportation hạn chế, giờ có
thêm container và vessel phù hợp để vận chuyển frozen cargo -> vận tải qte đã thay đổi cơ cấu hàng
hóa xuất khẩu của VN. Về mkt structures, thanks to int transportation mà đã vận chuyển thêm được
tới nhiều nước xa thay vì chỉ các nước láng giềng

Q = (P1.P2)/L
Q: lượng hh trao đổi
process
P1, P2: tiềm năng kte của các nước (GDP/capita)
L: distance between 2 countries
Muốn tăng Q thì giảm L, nhưng khoảng cách giữa 2 nước ko thay đổi được, P1, P2 cũng ko dễ thay đổi -> phát
triển transportation

(2) Influence on foreign exchange payment: nước nào trao đổi hàng hóa nhiều thì nhận nhiều ngoại tệ -> ảnh
hưởng đến exchange rate

 III. Dividing Transport Responsibilities
in International Sales Contracts
- Who is responsible for Signing Carriage
Contract? carrier & charterer, depending on Incoterms
- Rights or Responsibilities?
Ex: benefits of FAS
- Save cost
- Choose the best routine (chặng dài -> tiết kiệm, chặng ngắn -> nhanh -> tốn tiền)
- Control the quality of goods during transportation
III. Dividing Transportation Responsibilities in
International Sales Contracts
Importer Exporter Both
• EXW (Ex Works) • CPT (Carriage • FAS (Free Alongside
• FCA (Free Paid to) Ship)
• FOB (Free On
Carrier) • CIP (Carriage and Board)
Insurance Paid to) • CFR ( Cost and
• DAT (Delivered At Freight)
Terminal) • CIF (Cost,
• DDP (Delivered Insurance and
Freight)
Duty Paid)
• DAP (Delivered at
Place)
 Why fighting for transportation
responsibility?
• Gain initiatives in shipping arrangements:
carriers, routings, dates…
• Make use of domestics carriers to save foreign
currency
 When should you transfer the transportation
responsibility to your partners?

• Case 1: Difficulties in booking/chartering

shipping space (lack of foreign currency,
increasing rates, no knowledge…)
• Case 2: Minor difference in FOB-CFR, FCR-CPT
• Case 3: in urgent need of goods
• Case 4: Laws or port formalities
If the freight when signing the carriage contract is expected to rise -> should not fight for
trans when signing the sales contract
