Training

In foreign trade, training typically refers to instruction and teaching services related to the export of goods or services, covering technical, operational, maintenance, or management aspects. It may be an independent service trade item (e.g., providing equipment operation training to overseas clients) or ancillary to a goods sales contract (e.g., free installation training). Use cases include: stipulating the dispatch of engineers for on-site training when exporting large machinery, providing online training after software export, or offering sales training to overseas distributors. Notes: If training is an independent service, the scope, duration, location, fees, and intellectual property ownership must be clearly defined; if ancillary to goods, distinguish between free and paid training to avoid being deemed an additional service that affects the customs value. Difference from 'Technical Support': Training focuses on knowledge transfer and skill development, usually with a systematic curriculum; technical support focuses on solving specific technical problems, mostly immediate response. Difference from 'Consulting': Training emphasizes operability and repetition, while consulting focuses on solution recommendations. In foreign trade contracts, the training language, teaching materials, assessment methods, and the party bearing travel expenses should be clearly specified.
