A. 佣金 佣金（ Commission ）是指卖方或买方支付给中间 商买卖或介绍交易的服务酬金。 佣金通常以英文缩写字母 C 表示。比如每公吨 1000 美元 CIF 纽约含佣金 2 ％，可写成： US ＄ 1000per M/T CIFC 2% New York 。其中的 “C2” 即表示佣金 率为 2 ％ 。 佣金的规定应合理，其比率一般掌握在１％至５％ 之间，不宜偏高。

B. 折扣 折扣（ Discount ）是卖方在原有的基础上给予买方 的一定比例的减让。使用折扣方式减让，而不直接 降低，使卖方既保持了商品的价位，又明确表明了 给予买方的某种优惠，是一种促销手段、如数量折 扣、年终折扣、特别折扣等。比如 CIF 伦敦每公吨 200 美元，折扣３％，可写成 US ＄ 200 per M/T CIFD3% London.
