A Chinese company cabled to an Italian trader
问题详情
A Chinese company cabled to an Italian trader on March 1, offering 1000 metric tons agricultural products to be packed in sound gunny bags. After receiving the cable, the Italian trader replied: "Accepted, shipment in new gunny bags". Upon receipt of the reply, the Chinese company set about preparing the goods and was prepared to ship the goods in June. Several weeks later, the price of the agricultural products went down heavily. When the Chinese company urged the L/C, the Italian trader claimed: "there is no contract between us because you didn't confirm the new gunny bag packing. " But the Chinese company insists on conclusion of the business. Disputes arose between two parties .
Question: How to deal with the disputes？

参考答案
[翻译]一家中国出口公司于3月1日发电报向意大利某一贸易商报出1000公吨农产品的价格，并称用结实的麻袋包装。意大利贸易商收到报盘后回复：“接受你方报盘，用新麻袋装。”收到回复后，中国公司着手备货，准备6月份装船。几星期后，国际市场上农产品的价格急剧下跌，当中国公司催开信用证时，意大利贸易商声称：“合同不成立，因为你方没有确认新麻袋包装。”但是中国公司坚持合同已成立。双方之间产生争议。
请问：如何处理这一争议?
The contract between two parties is concluded. The packing doesn't materially alter the term of the offer and the Chinese company didn't object to the discrepancy.
