We placed a purchase order on a Chinese supplier. Due to non-availability of containers and vessels, they are unable to ship as per the agreed dispatch schedule. They have asked us to buy the items locally and agreed to compensate us for the differential purchase price (which is akin to the risk purchase clause).
