To conclude this business, you need to lower your price at least by 3%. 27. We find it difficult to fill your order at the prices indicated in your letter because of the high cost of raw materials. 28. You said yesterday that the price was $60/mt, CIF Brussels. 29. Your price is $500/mt, twice of the other countries. 30. Your quoted price is out of line with the prevailing level.

Today let's discuss the mode of transportation of the steel we ordered. 42. How do you usually move your machines? 43. The goods are now in transit. 44. A part of the goods were damaged in transit. 45. ransport by sea is the most important mode of transportation in the world today. 46. goods transported by air. 47. We don't think it is proper to transport the goods by railway. 48. If the goods are to be transshipped from one means of transportation to another during the course of the entire voyage, it's called "combined transportation". 49. It's simpler and cheaper for both of us to arrange multimodal combined transportation. 50. Freight for shipment from Shanghai to Hongkong is to be charged to your account.
