FAQ
The CISG governs contracts for the international sales of goods between private businesses, excluding sales to consumers and sales of services, as well as sales of certain specified types of goods.
The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) entered into force on January 1, 1988 for the 11 contracting parties, including the United States. The United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL) drafted the CISG.
It came into force in 1988 and has been ratified by more than 90 countries, including the USA, China, and Germany. The CISG takes precedence over the applicable conflict of laws of the individual contracting states (e.g., the Rome I Regulation).
The CISG facilitates international trade by removing legal barriers among state parties (known as "Contracting States") and providing uniform rules that govern most aspects of a commercial transaction, such as contract formation, the means of delivery, parties' obligations, and remedies for breach of contract.
The United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL) drafted the CISG. Currently the CISG has seventy-six parties. The CISG aims to provide an internationally recognizable body of law governing the sale of goods across international borders.
The CISG only applies to sales of goods between merchants, not sales to consumers, and does not generally apply to services arrangements. Parties to a covered transaction can expressly exclude or vary the CISG's application in the applicable contract.

The Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) is a comprehensive set of laws governing all commercial transactions in the United States. It is not a federal law, but a uniformly adopted state law. Uniformity of law is essential in this area for the interstate transaction of business.
