Win the case of International trade dispute

In June 2024, Italian buyer purchased machine products from a Chinese manufacturer. After paying the full amount, the seller claimed that the freight price was higher and asked the buyer to pay the freight separately. However, the contract signed by both parties clearly stipulated that it was a CIF clause, and the buyer had no obligation to continue paying the freight. The buyer demanded that the seller return the payment and compensate for the economic losses. The seller refused to return the payment. After accepting the case, our law firm immediately filed a court action. Within two months, the court held a pre-litigation negotiation meeting for both parties. Under the court’s supervision, the defendant agreed to return the payment and compensate the plaintiff’s reasonable economic losses. The buyer was satisfied with the court’s handling results.
