WAREHOUSING AND STORAGE
1. Translate the text:
Warehousing In the EU and the USA
Warehousing in the EU is complex as different companies not only have to think about storing and distributing goods around the country but they have to also think about other countries in the EU. In addition, they have to receive goods that are imported from other countries. The question of warehousing imported goods has been resolved with the aid of bonded warehouses run by Customs department of each country. Once all the fees and payments are made, the goods can be transported directly from the bonded warehouse to the end customer. However, the problem arises when goods have to be stored and dispatched to all corners of the EU. Earlier companies only had to concentrate on Western Europe and they have managed to establish warehouses and distribution centers in strategic locations. However, with many Central and Eastern European countries now joining the EU, companies now have to cover larger areas to distribute goods. And, most companies do not want to spend money to shift warehouse locations from Western Europe to Central and Eastern Europe. In addition, quality warehouses are scarce in these new markets and what are available are out-dated and old. That is why in the new logistics market of Central and Eastern Europe new warehousing and distribution facilities are be build. As mentioned earlier, warehouses in the EU are located strategically so that lead time is decreases and all orders are processed as fast as humanly possible. Many of the warehouses in the EU have cross-docking facilities. Basically this means that the goods received are not stored. Rather the moment they are received, the goods are sorted out and then dispatched. Warehousing in the EU is slowly turning from the storage model to the flow model. However, the flow model is still in its infancy and older warehousing operators are a little tentative about adopting it as it requires high amount of coordination between the warehouse and the entire supply chain, and this is not feasible for all industries. Warehousing in the USA is not something new. It has been in existence from the colonial times when there were storehouses to store all the goods
135
brought in from England. However, from then to now, warehousing and distribution in the USA has undergone several changes and technological advancement. One of the main causes of change is the expansion in business. Earlier companies used to have their own warehouses and distribution center all in one location and it was from this location goods were dispatched. However, now companies have production all over the world and this has now given way to third-party logistics companies. Warehousing and distribution in the USA done by third-party logistics companies concentrate on moving goods in the most cost efficient manner from the place of manufacture to the distribution center and finally to the end customer. Today warehouses are selected based on their locations and only those locations are selected where the cost of transportation and labor is cheap. This is primarily due to rising cost of gas. In addition, most warehouses are close to ports, which are entry points. However, the location of the warehouses and distribution centers depend on the type of product and end customer. In addition, companies are also taking into account the available market around the location of the warehouse. More and more companies in the US are now selecting warehouses and distribution centers based on sustainable building practices. Companies want buildings that are built according to standards set by environmental and energy agencies while still fulfilling their ultimate aim of being able to stack and store goods. Due to rising land prices, it is envisaged that the US will soon adopt multi-story warehouses and distribution centers like those present in Japan as these use the buildings more efficiently without causing a need to build or lease another warehouse and distribution center in the vicinity.
Answer the questions:
What has happened after the EU’s enlarging? What is the tendency in Central and Eastern Europe? What is the model of warehousing in the EU? When did warehousing process begin? What is the 3-d party logistics in the US? What is the criterion of selecting warehouse in the USA?

DOCUMENS IN FOREIGN TRADE

Bill of Lading: Negotiability
Bill of Lading is as a document of title. It is proof of ownership, so the person who owns the B/L may claim the goods. Look at the B/L in Exercise
2. Under the heading 'Consignee' is the word 'ORDER'. This word means that the B/L is negotiable — it can be sold. If you sell the goods you give the buyer the B/L so it can be used to claim the goods. The advantage of this is that the importer can sell the goods while the ship is still at sea. The buyer then presents the B/L and collects the goods when the ship arrives at the port of destination. The first importer has the money to start another transaction. Credit is normal in export trade. When a B/E has been signed by the importer, the exporter usually has to wait about 90 (or sometimes 180) days before it can be exchanged for money. Because a B/E is negotiable, the exporter may discount (sell) the bill at his bank before the 90 days have passed. The exporter has the money to start another transaction immediately and the bank collects the money when the B/E is paid, the bank may rediscount the bill to a discount house which specialises in this work.
Notes: Bill of Lading - коносамент negotiable - оборотный документ (инструмент)
Give short answers to these questions about the passage:
1. What are the two functions of a B/L that you know?
2. Which words on a cheque mean that it is negotiable?
3. Do you think an exporter discounts a B/E when the transaction is
'documents against payment'?
4. When a bank discounts a B/E, do you think it pays (a) more than
(b) the same amount as (c) less than the face value of the bill?

Letter of credit (L/C)
Bruce Stevens of Harbour Imports Pty, Melbourne, Australia, wanted to pay Peter Weaver of Clothco Ltd, Manchester, UK, for some cloth. Bruce wrote to his bank on a special form and asked them to open an irrevocable documentary credit. This is a Letter of Credit from Bruce's bank guaranteeing payment in Britain at a later date. If it is irrevocable, it cannot be cancelled. Neither Bruce nor his bank can change their minds and refuse to pay. Peter's bank knows Bruce's bank very well and they know they will receive the money, so they confirmed the Letter of Credit. This means that they guaranteed to pay the money so Peter was sure he would be paid. However a Letter of Credit is not negotiable, so Peter had to wait until the Letter of Credit was paid before he received his money.
Notes:
irrevocable letter of credit - безотзывный аккредитив

L/C?
8. How many reasons can you think of why importers or banks
might not pay a B/E or an unconfirmed revocable L/C?
