They allow and clearly provide that the parties of the contract have the rights of conventions’ selection, modification and exclusion. On the basis of researching the definition of international trade conventions and their relation to the contract, this paper mainly expounds and proves the practical application of the conventions in the contract and attentions must be paid when they are applied.
