Міжнародні економічні відносини на сучасному етапі віддзеркалюють розвиток та вдосконалення всіх форм економічного співробітництва.
Переговори з укладання міжнародних контрактів завершуються підписанням договору.
Договір широко використовується у зовнішній торгівлі, де він зазвичай зветься контрактом.
Слово “contract” англійською мовою використовується у зв’язку з внутрішньодержавними угодами та іншими видами договорів, окрім міждержавниx.
Еквівалентом міжнародного договору є слово „treaty”.
Контрактні відносини у сфері міжнародних ділових контактів вимагають передусім з’ясування деяких питань, пов’язаних зі становищем іноземних фізичних та юридичних осіб на території держави, громадянами якої вони є, і яка не є державою, де вони мають статус постійного мешканця або постійно живуть, тобто такою, яку часто називають доміцилієм.
Ці питання тісно пов’язані з „особистим статусом”, тобто комплексом прав та обов’язків, що його правова система держави створює не тільки для власних громадян та корпорацій, а й для іноземних фізичних та юридичних осіб.
