对话1
A: How long will it take for our order to be delivered?
B: Let's see...You are importing fifty containers of textiles from China. They should be able to place your order before the end of next week. It will take 2 days for shipping to the port city of Ningbo. The freight will take 3 weeks on the open ocean, and will arrive in Los Angeles approximately a month from today. Domestic shipping will be your responsibility; you can make arrangements with the pier in Los Angeles.
A: Fine. We will handle domestic shipping, but what about customs? Will we have to pay tariff on our imports? I hope we don't run into any problems with the border control.
B: No, the Chinese company has that all worked out. With the paperwork you receive with the shipment, you should be good to go.
中文
要过多长时间我们订的货才能送到?
我看一下…你要从中国进口50个集装箱的纺织品.他们应该在下周末之前下订单.运到宁波需要两天时间.货运在公海上还需要三周时间,到达洛杉矶的时间从今天算起大约在一个月以后.国内运输有你们自己负责,你们可以和洛杉矶码头达成协议.
很好.我们会处理好国内运输的,可是海关那里怎么办?我们还要交进口税吗?我希望我们在边境检查时不会遇到什么问题.
不会的,这个问题中国公司都解决了.拿着受到的货运文件,你应该会办得很顺利.
