The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. International Trade Contracts

• Describe importance of form of international trade agreements.
International trade agreements have a free form and can be oral or written (as contracts, as e-mails etc.). These trade agreements do not have a strict form and can be performed as free as parties like to do that.
Everything comes to some restrictions in the moment, when one or both parties have complaints about something. To solve the problem themselves is easier and of course cheaper, but in many cases it goes to courts and courts have to decide who is responsible for problems, who hasn’t done what he should be etc.
For sure, it is much easier if parties have written a contract between them and signed it, so The Court can analyze this contract and fast make a decision.
