Question 2

Jintex Company Limited is a Ugandan Company that deals in the importation of sewing
machines from China. In February 2022, Jintex Company Limited entered into a contract
with Zing Xing Company Limited based in China for the supply of sewing machines. In their
agreement they agreed that Zing Xing Company Limited will supply Jintex Company Limited
with 100 sewing machines, they agreed on the price, and the date of delivery of the goods.

Zing Xing Company Limited agreed to transport the goods to the port of departure for
shipment, load the goods, and pay for the freight to the point of destination. However, Zing
Xing Company insisted that Jintex Company Limited nominate a vessel of its choice and
insure the goods against any risk, as they will not be responsible for any damage or
destruction of the goods. Jintex Company Limited, however, argues that it is the
responsibility of Zing Xing Company Limited to nominate the vessel and insure the goods.

Advise and explain to the parties the appropriate incoterms they can adopt for
the execution of their contract and why.
