Unit 7 Packing Lead-in What is the function of packing? What are the categories of packing? What items are included? Lead-in 包装是国际贸易中货物装运前的重要环节，是为了保护商品的品质完好和数量完整而采取的措施。根据不同的功能，包装可分为： 运输包装，即外包装或大包装。运输包装不仅要起到防止货物运输途中受损 的作用，同时也应具备贮存、防盗和方便装卸的功能； 销售包装，即内包装或小包装； 中性包装，即在商品包装上既不注明生产国别、地名和厂名，也不注明原有商标和牌号的包装。 Lead-in 包装条款是贸易合同中的一项重要内容。例如装箱单就是补充单据之一，它列明了信用证（或合同）中买卖双方约定的有关包装事宜的细节（如包装方式、包装材料、包装件数、货物规格、数量、重量等），便于国外买方在货物到达目的港时供海关检查和核对货物。 通常可以将包装条款相关内容加列在商业发票上，但当信用证有明确要求时，就必须严格按要求约定制作。 Writing Model INQUIRY Inquiry 1. 对之前收到的信函表示感谢并引入有关包装问题的讨论 We thank you for your letter of Dec. 20, and have some concerns with packing.
