ACCA Applied Skills · Corporate and Business Law (Global) · Obligations of the seller and buyer, and provisions common to both

Corvo SA agrees to sell machine parts to Delmar Inc under the CISG. The contract does not fix a delivery place, does not involve carriage, and the goods are known by both parties to be at Corvo's warehouse. Where must Corvo deliver?

Corvo delivers by placing the goods at Delmar's disposal at Corvo's warehouse. Where the contract involves no carriage and the goods are at a known place, the CISG treats that place as the place of delivery, not the buyer's premises.

Explanation

Under Article 31 CISG, where the contract does not involve carriage and the goods are at a known specific place, the seller delivers by placing the goods at the buyer's disposal at that place. Delivery at the buyer's premises would need an agreement to that effect.
