The international sales contract plays an important and central role in international trade, and other contracts such as transportation and insurance have been created to facilitate its implementation; in addition, many of the issues governing international sales are also applied to other transactions in international trade. In fact, the international sales contract has features that are not observed in domestic sales contracts.

In domestic sales contracts, the domestic legal system governing the contract is clear, and the parties to the contract learn about its legal framework by referring to domestic law, meaning that the only issue in domestic sales is knowing the domestic laws. While in international sales, the seller and the buyer reside in two different countries, therefore the international sales contract is dependent on several legal systems. The seller from one country sells a product to the buyer residing in another country, the implementation of the contract is the transfer of goods or any object and service from one country to another, although the legal systems of the two countries of the buyer and the seller may be different and different rules govern the conclusion of the contract and its effects.

Therefore, drafting an international sales contract is of particular importance, and it is essential for those involved in this matter to be aware of the legal mechanisms governing it.
