Discount and Commission折扣和佣金
Brief Introduction
佣金一般是中间商因介绍交易或代买商品而获取的报酬。作为中间商因其有一定的贸易渠道，所以通过其开展交易已是国际贸易中的一种普遍做法。
佣金一般来说分为：明佣和暗佣。明佣是指在合同中已明确确定下来的佣金。暗佣是指在合同中没有表明，而由双方另行约定。佣金数额的计算一般按发票金额总值，即C.I.F.价格或C.F.R.价格乘以佣金率而得。但金额较大的也有按F.O.B.净价计佣的。
折扣是指卖方按照商品的原价给买方以一定比率的价格减让。折扣包括数量折扣、季节性折扣、特别折扣、额外折扣等。具体折扣数额或者比例的多少，应根据具体情况而定。当买卖双方确定了折扣比例后，可在买卖合同中明确地表示出来。
