Question

A contract involving the sale of goods from a Texas seller to a French wholesaler must always use the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG).

True / False.

Answer 1

False

Step-by-step explanation:

Contracts for International Sale of Goods (CISG) is a UN sponsored convention similar to the American UCC that regulates international trade of goods between the countries that have ratified the CIGS convention.

Both the US and France ratified the CIGS convention in 1988.

Usually this type of contract should follow the CIGS rules, but in US courts the UCC will generally prevail. So if the Texas seller sues the French for any reason at all, the court case would use UCC rules, but if the French wholesaler sues the Texas seller in France, then the CIGS will apply.
