界定国际贸易与国内贸易之法律与实务审视

我国“入世”以来外贸发展势头迅猛,进出口规模逐年扩大,到2005年外贸总额已经突破万亿大关,成为仅次于美国和德国的世界第三大贸易国。同时,国内的贸易商及生产企业面临的内外贸市场环境也发生了很大变化,两个市场之间的界限逐渐模糊,很多国内企业在进行国内贸易时日益倾向于使用标准的国际贸易术语,如FOB、CFR和CIF等,这不仅给国际贸易术语的国内应用提出了特殊的要求,也引起在新的贸易形势下如何界定国际贸易与国内贸易的区别的问题。甚至在美国这样的贸易强国,也有学者惊呼,“真正的跨境贸易(Cross-border Trade)正在减少甚至消失”。面对国际贸易领域这一新现象,文章将通过案例分析,从实务与法律的双重视角来探讨该问题。
