) The owner of a fast-growing U.S. beverage company wishes to import mineral water and has asked you, the vice president of sales, to recommend foreign sources. You know of some of the best sources in France, Canada, and Australia. Which U.S. trade laws should you consider when selecting a source? You researched and determined that sources of mineral water in France suit your purpose. However, the tariff imposed by the French companies makes import from that country noncompetitive. In your opinion, is there any way by which you can seek a reduction on the tariff? If so, how? If not, why? 2) Search the Internet and read the entire case of Board of Trade of San Francisco v. Swiss Credit Bank, 728 F.2d 1241 (9th Cir. 1984) The Swiss Credit Bank issued a letter of credit in favor of Antex Industries to cover the sale of 92,000 electronic integrated circuits manufactured by Electronic Arrays. The letter of credit specified that the chips would be transported to Tokyo by ship, but Antex transported the circuits by air. The payment on the letter of credit was dishonored because the shipment by air did not fulfill the precise terms of the letter of credit. In your opinion, should the court compel payment? Why or why not? To what extent must a company comply with the strict requirements of a letter of credit? Provide a rationale to support your answer.
