[...] le mot de conditionnement [...] est plutôt lié à l'idée de présentation finale pour la vente au détail. L'emballage évoque surtout les articles et les opérations visant à contenir et à protéger, pour le stockage et le transport, un produit industriel plus ou moins important, des matières en vrac ou un regroupement de conditionnements unitaires. Il est donc en général lié à l'idée de grosses divisions ou de groupage. Il sera question d’emballage pour une machine à laver ou un cageot de fruits et de conditionnement pour un paquet de cigarettes ou un médicament. En fait, la frontière est assez floue [...] 4, record 1, French, - conditionnement%20sous%20vide

"delivered at frontier" means that the seller delivers when the goods are placed at the disposal of the buyer on the arriving means of transport not unloaded, cleared for export, but not cleared for import at the named point and place at the frontier, but before the customs border of the adjoining country. The term "frontier" may be used for any frontier including that of the country of export. Therefore, it is of vital importance that the frontier in question be defined precisely by always naming the point and place in the term. However, if the parties wish the seller to be responsible for the unloading of the goods from the arriving means of transport and to bear the risks and costs of unloading, this should be made clear by adding explicit wording to this effect in the contract of sale. This term may be used irrespective of the mode of transport when goods are to be delivered at a land frontier. When delivery is to take place in the port of destination, on board a vessel or on the quay (wharf), the DES or DEQ terms should be used. 3, record 2, English, - delivered%20at%20frontier

«rendu frontière» signifie que le vendeur a dûment livré dès lors que la marchandise a été mise à la disposition de l'acheteur à l'endroit convenu et au lieu frontalier convenu, mais avant la frontière douanière du pays adjacent, sur le véhicule de transport d’approche non déchargé, la marchandise étant dédouanée à l'exportation mais non dédouanée à l'importation. Le mot «frontière» peut être utilisé pour toute frontière y compris celle du pays d’exportation. Il est donc d’une importance capitale de définir avec précision la frontière en cause, en indiquant toujours à la suite du terme DAF l'endroit et le lieu convenus. Cependant si les parties souhaitent que le vendeur assume la responsabilité de décharger la marchandise à l'arrivée du véhicule de transport et de supporter les risques et frais de déchargement, elles doivent l'indiquer clairement en ajoutant une mention expresse à cet effet dans le contrat de vente. Le terme DAF peut être utilisé quel que soit le mode de transport lorsque la marchandise est à livrer à une frontière terrestre. Si la livraison doit se faire au port de destination, à bord d’un navire ou sur le quai, ce sont les termes DES ou DEQ qu'il convient d’utiliser. 4, record 2, French, - rendu%20fronti%C3%A8re
