Summary
GENERAL: PLACE OF PERFORMANCE
a. The place where a party must perform a contractual obligation is important in a variety of contexts. In the Convention, of particular relevance are Articles 31 and 57, which, respectively, specify the place where goods are to be delivered and the place where payment is to be made. In particular, CISG Art. 31
covers three cases, numbered (a) to (c), or rather four cases, if we include the introduction to the article. The first case is that the seller is bound to deliver the goods at a particular place (the introduction). The three other cases (a, b, and c) presuppose that he is not so bound. Under rule (a), if the contract of sale involves carriage of the goods, delivery consists in handing the goods over to the first carrier for transmission to the buyer. The other two cases […] refer to two different situations in which the contract does not involve carriage of goods. The gist of rules (b) and (c) is that the goods are delivered at the seller's place of business.
Under CISG Art. 57(1),
[i]n the absence of agreement, payment must be made at the seller's place of business (Article 57(1)(a)). Where there is an agreement for immediate payment – ‘cash against documents’ – payment is to be made at the place where the goods or the documents are transferred (Article 57(1)(b)). In a sale involving carriage, if immediate payment has not been agreed upon, the seller's place of business remains the place of payment.
