Intercambio compensado de mercancías
Spanish to English
Bus/Financial
Business/Commerce (general)
Hi guys,
This term appears in the articles of association for a Mexican company and appears as follows:
"operaciones de trueque e intercambio compensado de mercancías".
My problem is that "trueque" (barter) is a form of "intercambio compensado de mercancías" (countertrade of goods), as far as I am aware.
Am I right in thinking this is just inaccurate drafting?
Thanks!
Nick

Note from asker:
| Hi everyone, thanks for your answers, but I still think it's "countertrade". English: "Countertrade means exchanging goods or services which are paid for, in whole or part, with other goods or services, rather than with money." / Spanish: "El término intercambio compensado se utiliza para describir aquellas transacciones comerciales internacionales donde todo o parte del pago por adquirir o vender bienes y/o servicios se hace bienes o servicios en lugar de intercambiarlos por dinero." |

trueque
De acuerdo a la RAE:
trueque: Intercambio directo de bienes y servicios, sin mediar la intervención de dinero.
Creo que sería innecesario traducir "intercambio compensado de mercancías" en este caso
