Contract for the International Sale of Goods (CISG)

The Convention on the International Sale of Goods (CISG) is a treaty that standardizes the rules for buying and selling goods across countries that have agreed to it. It provides a legal framework to ensure clarity and fairness in international transactions, covering aspects like contract formation, delivery, and remedy for breach. The CISG helps prevent misunderstandings by offering consistent legal principles, reducing the need for parties to navigate different national laws. It applies automatically when both buyer and seller are from countries that are signatories, facilitating smoother cross-border trade.
