However, the performance of the signed-contract between them will take plenty of time to gothrough many stages such as: production, packing, delivery, transportation to work, storing, manufacturing ... so there are often hidden risks. Therefore, despite the eliminiation of subjective factors such as commercial fraud, cargo not in accordance with the contract, ...there are still the dominant factors which make some provisions in the contract are not fulfilled, such as non-delivery on time, not enough in quantity or delivery wrong type -specification, etc. ... On the other hand, transferred cargo from the seller to the buyer must go through many stages of transportation, forwarding, loading and unloading, etc. ... These stage may cause losses or affect the quality of cargo. The occured problems will inevitably lead to trade disputes between buyers and sellers or between buyers, sellers and third parties.
