我们的客户在我们向其供货的几天或几周之后申请了破产，这是否会使我们在破产案件中享有任何特殊权利吗？

We supplied goods to the debtor in the days or weeks leading up to the bankruptcy filing. Does that give us any special rights in the bankruptcy case?

会。美国《破产法》第546(c)条赋予了供应商“货物召回权”，即，供应商有权召回其在债务人申报破产前45日内，向债务人提供的货物，但前提是根据合同管辖地的美国州法律或其他非破产法律规定，供应商有权拿回货物。该等适用的非破产法律可能包括《联合国国际货物销售合同公约》（CISG），该公约是为国际贸易建立统一框架的多边条约，向供应商提供了某些情况下要求返还货物的权利。截至本文发布之日，CISG已得到了94个国家的批准，在国际贸易中占比很大。

Yes. Bankruptcy Code § 546(c) preserves a supplier’s right to reclaim goods supplied to a debtor within 45 days of the bankruptcy filing, but only if the supplier has the right to do so under applicable U.S. state or other non-bankruptcy law. Such applicable non-bankruptcy law may include the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG), which is a multilateral treaty that establishes a uniform framework for international commerce and provides suppliers with a right of restitution of goods under certain circumstances. As of the date of this article, the CISG has been ratified by 94 ries, representing a significant proportion of international commerce.

无论供应商是否拥有非破产法赋予的货物召回权或货物返还权，美国《破产法》第503(b)(9)条赋予了供应商“行政费用”优先权。若债务人在破产案件开始前20日内，在正常经营过程中收到的供应商所供应的货物，债权人对这批货物相对应的货款享有“行政费用”优先权。这意味着提供该等货物的供应商在破产案件中享有优先受偿权。

Notwithstanding whether a supplier has non-bankruptcy law reclamation or restitution rights, Bankruptcy Code § 503(b)(9) gives administrative expense priority status to a supplier’s claim for goods received by a debtor within 20 days before the date of commencement of a bankruptcy case and within the ordinary course of business. This means that suppliers of such goods are entitled to priority of payment in the bankruptcy case.
