Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Trade usage has always played an important role in the legal regulation of international sales. For example, trade usage is used to define the
concept of reasonable time in which the buyer or seller has to take certain actions as required by the substantive law, to determine whether
formalities are required for contract formation, whether an offer can be accepted through silence or conduct, a contract concluded where the goods or price is not certain or ascertainable, the price or time of
payment revised after conclusion, or whether interest can be claimed in
cases where there is no contractual agreement in this respect.
