Along with the standard procedures set up for import/export businesses, Western companies (and most others, as well) must deal with tariffs, unless the trade is between members of economic blocks such as NAFTA (North America), EEC(Europe), etc. The global organization dealing with international trade (i.e. import/export) is the WTO. 　根據(jù)進出口業(yè)務(wù)的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)程序，西方公司（其他公司也是）必然要處理關(guān)稅問題，除非是同一經(jīng)濟體成員之間的貿(mào)易，如NAFTA(北美自由貿(mào)易區(qū))，EEC(歐盟)等。
處理全球國際貿(mào)易（進口、出口）的世界組織是WTO(世界貿(mào)易組織).

　Rocky: Stop! I can’t take any more.So, what can I do for you, Jacques?

　Jacques: I need a couple of your SB2000 speedboats to rent to guests. Can you give me a price quote?

　Rocky: Let’s see... Uh, the list price is $6,500 U.S. You’re a valued customer, so I’ll give you a 10% discount.

　Jacques: That’s very reasonable. Do you have them in stock?

　Rocky: Sure do! We set up new inventory controls last year, so we don’t have many backlogs any more.

　Jacques: That’s good. The tourist season is just around the corner, so I need them pretty quick. What’s the earliest shipping date you can manage?

　Rocky: They can be ready for shipment in 2-3 weeks.

　Jacques: Perfect.What’s the total CIF price, Rocky?

　Rocky: Hang on ... The price will be $15,230 U.S. to your usual port. Do we have a deal?

　Jacques: You bet! Send me a fax with all the information, and I’ll send you my order right away. I’ll pay by irrevocable letter of credit, as usual. Same terms as always?

　Rocky: Of course.

　Jacques: Great! Nice doing business with you again, Rocky. Bye for now, and say hello to the family for me.

　Rocky: Will do, and the same goes for me. Bye, Jacques.
