PACKING AND MARKING

- There is another matter I’d like to bring up. What kind of packing do you use?

- Oh, we pay special attention to this matter. Our goods need seaproof packing. So generally some parts are wrapped up in polythene and the whole units are then put into wooden boxes or crates. Our customers find it quite satisfactory.

- I hope this ensures their save delivery, doesn’t it?

- Of course it does. We do our best to satisfy our customers and our product really competitive and attractive for overseas markets. The goods will be packed in accordance with our standard export packing methods.

- Thank you. I think we’ve settled all the matters. Will it be possible for us to meet tomorrow morning and sign the contract?

- That will be fine.

3. Read the text and translate it

Packing goods for export is a highly specialized job. The equipment should be shipped in export seaworthy packing. If the goods are improperly packed and marked, the carrier may refuse to accept them. Packing can be external (outside) (crate, bag) and internal (inside) (box, pack, flask).

In case of consumer goods packing has a double function. On the one hand it is for protection. On the other – it is for advertising. The Seller should be responsible for any damage or breakage of the goods causedbyimproper packing.

Marking should be made with indelible paint in two languages on three sides of the case.
