При заключении внешнеторговой сделки важно прописать все условия внешнеторгового контракта: цену, обязанности сторон, содержание внешнеторгового контракта. Пример и образец составления смотрите в статье.

Заключение внешнеторгового контракта

Отечественные компании порой готовы заключить внешнеторговую сделку (экспорт и импорт товаров, работ и услуг), совершенно не проработав условия внешнеторгового контракта и его детали:

• без проверки существования, благонадежности, полномочий контрагента;
• с авансированием импортных поставок без обеспечения возврата;
• с поставкой товаров на экспорт без предоплаты и значительной отсрочкой платежа.

Они соглашаются заключить внешнеторговые контракты, в которых акценты расставлены далеко не в пользу российской стороны: подробно расписаны права зарубежного партнера с минимумом его обязанностей, при этом обязанности российской стороны несоизмеримо больше ее прав. А ведь одна такая внешнеторговая сделка может привести к неплатежеспособности предприятия. Необходимо помнить, что от правильности составления внешнеторгового контракта, особенно в части распределения расходов, зависит и конечный результат сотрудничества с иностранной компанией.

Но прежде чем рассматривать особенности составления внешнеторгового контракта, отдельно поговорим о языковом барьере. Чтобы его не было, найдите переводчика, специализирующегося на коммерческом праве. Поручите ему максимально близко по смыслу переводить пункты договора. Параллельно сами перечитывайте текст на русском языке и пытайтесь проверить перевод - он должен быть вам и вашим специалистам понятен. Берите переводчика с собой при обсуждении условий внешнеторговой сделки с вашим контрагентом. В этом случае он поймет смысл контракта, его контекст, и сделает перевод максимально точным. Если же перевод выполняется вне переговорного процесса, требуйте, чтобы переводчик задавал вам максимальное число вопросов. Отсутствие вопросов является сигналом того, что риск некачественного перевода может быть очень высок.

Хороший переводчик вам посоветует немного «переделать» текст на исходном русском языке для того, чтобы формулировки были полностью эквивалентными. А вот значения банковских реквизитов не переводите - всегда указывайте их только на английском языке и лучше прописными буквами. Не переводите названия фирм. Если не знаете, как написать адрес контрагента на русском языке, то пишите на языке контрагента. При заключении внешнеторгового контракта отдельным пунктом укажите, на каких языках он составлен. Вопрос приоритетности языка может быть камнем преткновения в арбитражных спорах в случае расхождений смысла слов. Какому языку отдавать приоритет - вопрос переговоров. В нашей практике обычным является составление внешнеторгового контракта на двух языках: русском и английском. Последний обычно воспринимается всеми.

При заключении внешнеторгового контракта важно учесть некоторые особенности.

Особенность 1. Денежные вопросы

Указывайте валюту контракта и ее сокращенный код из классификатора (не должно быть просто рублей, долларов и динаров - нужно указывать "австралийских долларов", "белорусских рублей" и "кувейтских динаров"). Дробные части валюты (центы, копейки и филсы) не используются в формулировках, поскольку в международных расчетах выработан четкий суммовой формат прописью.

Отдельно оговаривайте валюту платежей (может и не совпадать с валютой цены контракта).

Четко прописывайте условия, сроки и механизм возврата авансовых платежей в случае отсутствия поставки товара или невыполнения работ (неоказания услуг). Во избежание существенных штрафов предусматривайте банковские гарантии возврата авансового платежа или неисполнения контракта, используйте защищенные расчеты - оплату по аккредитиву. Не соглашайтесь на 100% предоплату по сделке с незнакомым контрагентом.

Иногда для принятия решения о применении «защищенных» форм расчетов в формах банковской гарантии или аккредитива помогают результаты анализа финансового состояния, выполненные на основе финансовой отчетности вашего контрагента. В нашей практике известны случаи, когда результаты такого анализа позволили совершенно по-другому взглянуть на вашего будущего партнера и предпринять все меры, связанные с минимизацией рисков невозврата аванса при импорте, либо неоплаты за отгруженные на экспорт товары. Однако в этом случае будьте готовы к тому, что аналогичную финансовую отчетность запросят и с вас. Также запросите аудиторское заключение (audit opinion ), составленное по результатам аудита финансовой отчетности вашего партнера. Можно пойти и еще дальше: проанализировать финансовое состояние не только вашего будущего партнера, но и банка, на обслуживании которого находится ваш иностранный контрагент. Наличие негативного рейтинга обслуживающего банка может создавать угрозу неплатежа.

Подробно расписывайте распределение банковских расходов. Конечно, это предмет договоренностей между сторонами, и сложно предсказать, какая формулировка устроит вашего партнера.

Наличие описанной в примере формулировки в будущем позволит «закрыть» сделку для целей применения налогового и валютного законодательства. Это актуально в том случае, если на ваш расчетный счет будет, к примеру, зачислена выручка не в полном объеме, за вычетом удержанной комиссии банка.

Особенность 2. Сроки и условия поставки внешнеторгового контракта

Указывайте подробно место поставки со ссылкой на базис из Инкотермс (англ. I ncoterms , International commercial terms , международные правила в формате словаря, обеспечивающие однозначные толкования наиболее широко используемых торговых терминов в областивнешней торговли).

Стороны внешнеторгового контракта по купле-продаже товара вправе выбрать любую версию правил Инкотермс для своих контрактов, и важно четко указать избранную редакцию правил: "Инкотермс-2010", "Инкотермс-2000", "Инкотермс-90" и так далее. Далее, опишите порядок поставки товаров, то есть даты завершения поставок и (или) график поставки конкретных партий товара.

Отметим, что отсутствие запрета частичных поставок товара может увеличивать ваши расходы на приемку и (или) транспортировку импортного товара.

Оговорите в отдельном абзаце момент перехода права собственности(порядок определения даты перехода права собственности). Это важно, поскольку в бухгалтерском и налоговом учете по соответствующей дате будут делаться бухгалтерские записи (проводки). Это актуально только для товаров и интеллектуальной собственности.

Для целей составления финансовой отчетности по МСФО важным является момент перехода рисков и преимуществ, который зачастую совпадает с моментом перехода права собственности. Однако если для вас актуально составление отчетности по МСФО, то лучше отдельно прописать момент перехода рисков и преимуществ, либо указать, что он соответствует моменту перехода права собственности.

Пропишите тот уровень качества, который вам нужен, а также такой гарантийный срок, о котором вы договорились.

Отдельный момент - порядок вызова сторон в случае обнаружения недостатков. Необходимо обозначить в договоре пункт о том, что ваш компетентный представитель обязан присутствовать при:

• документировании факта ненадлежащего качества Товара;
• установлении причин его неисправности;
• выработке предложений по урегулированию проблемы.

Это может значительно уменьшить штрафные санкции, связанные с поставкой Товара ненадлежащего качества, а также сократит ваши убытки, как в виде реального ущерба, так и упущенной выгоды.

Особенность 3. Права и обязанности сторон внешнеторгового контракта

Обязательно недвусмысленно пропишите во внешнеторговом контракте ответственность контрагента перед вами. Корректно будет, если ответственность сторон будет «зеркальной» по условиям. К примеру, вы отвечаете за просрочку поставки товара, ваш контрагент - в одинаковой степени за несвоевременную оплату, либо наоборот. Прописываете подробный сценарий действий сторон в случае наступления форс-мажорных обстоятельств.

Лучше заранее поинтересоваться, какой компетентный орган будет свидетельствовать обстоятельства непреодолимой силы (форс-мажор) на территории соответствующего государства на всем пути следования Товара. В России это - Торгово-промышленная палата Российской Федерации (статья 15 Закона РФ «О торгово-промышленных палатах в Российской Федерации» от 7 июля 1993 г. № 5340-1). По возможности настаивайте на материальном праве в суде своей страны с указанием места рассмотрения спора. По последним данным, ранее признаваемые всеми международные суды стали проявлять свою политическую ангажированность при вынесении вердиктов.

У многих торгово-промышленных палат есть свои третейские суды. Такой третейский суд есть и при Пермской ТПП. Вы вправе предлагать своему иностранному партнеру тот третейский суд, который в большей степени устраивает вас, и который, в случае возникновения спора, будет связан с наименьшей величиной судебных расходов и (или) с минимальными сроками рассмотрения спора.

Не забудьте указать, законодательство какой страны подлежит применению в случае споров.

Поинтересуйтесь у вашего юриста, знает ли он, к примеру, английское и (или) итальянское законодательство. Если нет, настаивайте на том, чтобы применимым для вашего внешнеторгового контракта было законодательство Российской Федерации. В противном случае при возникновении спора вам неизбежно придется прибегать к дорогостоящим услугам внешних юристов и консультантов.
