INCOTERMS
If you have a doubt for delivery instructions on Purchase Order, please refer to:
http://www.iccwbo.org/incoterms/wallchart/wallchart.pdf
| Minera San Cristobal S.A. (MSC) performs all payments free of charge for the payee/vendor via its bank “Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation (SMBC)” in New York. The cost of transfer of funds is assumed by MSC for each transfer, and is not charged to the beneficiary or vendor. If you receive less than the agreed amount in the purchase order when MSC makes the transfer to your bank account, it is because an intermediary bank or your bank charged you some type of a commission fee. This charge is not made by all banks, it depends on the agreements between banks and the relationship between the beneficiary and its bank. MSC does not assume the charges generated after the transfer is executed by SMBC. |
SCHEDULE B
For all US suppliers:
If you need information about Schedule B Numbers (Harmonized code), please visitwww.aesdirect.gov/support/usppi_overview.html for an overview of the latest regulations regarding U.S.P.P.I.s.
Then you can go to http://www.census.gov/foreign-trade/schedules/b/ where they will explain about Schedule B Codes.
There are millions of trade transactions occurring each year. These transactions are classified under approximately 8,000 different products leaving the United States. Every item that is exported is assigned a unique 10-digit identification code. Every 10-digit item is part of a series of progressively broader product categories. For example, concentrated frozen apple juice is assigned a 10-digit identifier that is aggregated into a broader category assigned a 6-digit identifier described as apple juice. The 6-digit identifier described as apple juice is aggregated into a broader category assigned a 4-digit identifier described as fruit juices and vegetable juices, etc. The 4-digit identifier is further aggregated into a broader category assigned a 2-digit identifier described as Preparations of Vegetables, Fruit, Nuts etc.
Typing the item into the search engine will bring up a range of options.
