Dingxi Longhai Dairy (“Dingxi”) agreed to ship 612 metric tons of Inulin, a dietary fiber extract, to Becwood Technology Group (“Becwood”), a Minnesota distributor. The contract called for four shipments from the port of Tianjin–Xingang, China, to Londonderry, New Hampshire. Becwood received the first two shipments, paid for one, and refud to pay for the cond becau of mold on the exterior of the packaging. Dingxi recalled the third and fourth shipments before they reached their destination and sued Becwood for breach of contract and fraudulent misreprentation. The district court granted Becwood's Rule 12(b)(6) motion and dismisd Dingxi's claims relating to shipments three and four. Nearly two years later, the district court entered a final order granting Dingxi summary judgment on its breach-of-contract claim for shipment two. Dingxi Longhai Dairy, Ltd. v. Becwood Tech. Grp., L.L.C., 718 F.Supp.2d 1019, 1024 (D.Minn.2010). Dingxi now appeals the earlier order dismissing its breach-of-contract claims for shipments three and four. FN1 We rever. FN1. Dingxi did not appeal dismissal of its misreprentation claims. Accordingly, that portion of the partial dismissal order is affirmed. It is undisputed that the contract was governed by the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (“CISG”), the “international analogue” to Article 2 of the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC). Chicago Prime Packers, Inc. v. Northam Food Trading Co., 408 F.3d 894, 898 (7th Cir.2005). In applying the Convention, we look to the language of its provisions and the “general principles on which it is bad.” CISG Art. 7(2). “Calaw interpreting analogous provisions of Article 2 ... may also inform a court where the language of the relevant CISG provisions tracks that of the UCC.” *1108 Delchi Carrier SpA v. Rotorex Corp., 71 F.3d 1024, 1028 (2d Cir.1995). With regard to pleading requirements, “the Convention's structure confirms what common n (and the common law) dictate as the universal elements of [a breach-of-contract] action: formation, performance, breach and damages.” Magellan Int'l Corp. v. Salzgitter Handel GmbH, 76 F.Supp.2d 919, 924 (N.D.Ill.1999). For its breach-of-contract claim, Dingxi's complaint alleged that it timely delivered all four shipments “F.O.B. to Tianjin–Xingang Port, China,” as specified in the signed purcha order; that Becwood failed to pay for the last three shipments; and that Dingxi was therefore entitled to recover $1,415,086 “together with interest, disburment, costs, expens and reasonable attorneys' fees.” Under the UCC, this would plainly be a § 2–709 “Action for the Price” of the goods by the ller. Under the CISG, it was a claim by the ller for breach of contract subject to the remedy provisions in Articles 61–65 and 74–77. See CISG Art. 61(1). Becwood moved to dismiss the claim regarding shipments three and four on the ground that a ller who recalls goods before they reach the buyer may not “recover as damages, even if you assume that there's a breach from the buyer, the very contract price of tho goods that the ller retained.” The district court agreed. It dismisd the claim on the ground that damages following contract avoidance are governed by CISG Art. 76, and therefore “Dingxi has failed to asrt cognizable damages on shipments 3 and 4.” FN2 FN2. Article 73(2) of the CISG provides: If one party's failure to perform any of his obligations in respect of any instalment gives the other party good grounds to conclude that a fundamental breach of contract will occur with respect to future installments, he may declare the contract avoided for the future, provided that he does so within a reasonable time. Thus, “avoidance” of a contract under Article 73(2) is analogous to “cancellation” under the UCC. See §§ 2–106(4); 2–612(3). Article 76(1) provides as to remedies: If the contract is avoided and there is a current price for the goods, the party claiming damages may, if he has not made a purcha or resale under article 75, recover the difference between the price fixed by the contract and the current price at the time of avoidance as well as any further damages recoverable under article 74. Article 74 provides that damages for breach of contract “consist of a sum equal to the loss, including loss of profit.” Compare the ller's remedies provided in UCC §§ 2–703, 2–706, 2–708(1), and 2–708(2), which are “esntially cumulative in nature.” R.E. Davis Chem. Corp. v. Diasonics, Inc., 826 F.2d 678, 681–685 (7th Cir.1987). We can agree that it is highly unlikely—though not inconceivable—that an aggrieved ller in this situation would recover the full contract price for shipments three and four. But Becwood's Rule 12(b)(6) motion to dismiss the breach-of-contract claim was nonetheless ill-conceived: The sufficiency of a pleading is tested by the Rule 8(a)(2) statement of the claim for relief and the demand for judgment is not considered part of the claim for that purpo, as numerous cas have held. Thus, the lection of an improper remedy in the Rule 8(a)(3) demand for relief will not be fatal to a party's pleading if the statement of the claim indicates the pleader may be entitled to relief of some other type. 5 Wright & Miller, Federal Practice and Procedure: Civil 3d § 1255 at 508–09 (3d ed.2004); e Bontkowski v. Smith, 305 F.3d 757, 762 (7th Cir.2002); Laird v. Integrated Resources, Inc., 897 F.2d 826, 841–42 (5th Cir.1990); Schoonover v. Schoonover, 172 F.2d 526, 530 (10th Cir.1949). The amount of damages to be recovered is *1109 bad upon the proof, not the pleadings. See Fed.R.Civ.P. 54(c). [1] [2] Under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, “a court may dismiss a complaint only if it is clear that no relief could be granted under any t of facts that could be proved consistent with the allegations.” Swierkiewicz v. Sorema N.A., 534 U.S. 506, 514, 122 S.Ct. 992, 152 L.Ed.2d 1 (2002) (emphasis added; quotation omitted). Here, Dingxi's complaint stated a breach-of-contract claim—performance of its contractual duty to deliver and the buyer's refusal to pay. A fact outside the pleading became part of the Rule 12 record, apparently without objection—that Dingxi recalled shipments three and four before they reached the buyer. That fact will likely preclude recovery of the full contract price. But if Dingxi proves that Becwood breached the contract as to shipments three and four, it is almost certain to be entitled to some monetary relief. Accordingly, the district court erred in granting Becwood's Rule 12(b)(6) motion to dismiss. The order dismissing Dingxi's breach-of-contract claims relating to shipments three and four is reverd. The ca is remanded for further proceedings not inconsistent with this opinion, which may include the matter raid in Dingxi's motion to this court for leave to ask the district court to modify its order granting summary judgment on shipment two. As the ca is now remanded, that motion is denied as moot. See In re Modern Textile, Inc., 900 F.2d 1184, 1193 (8th Cir.1990). C.A.8 (Minn.),2011. Dingxi Longhai Dairy, Ltd. v.

ⅠII.1999). 针对违约的索赔,定西的诉状宣称,按照签署 采购单的说明,在中国天津新港口岸采用FOB条 款,及时的运送了全部四批货物,但是Becwood 未能为余下的三批货物付款。因此定西有权索回 连同利息、支出、成本、费用以及辩护律师费在 内的1,415,086元。根据UCC,这显然是卖方的 “§2-709”商品的价格行动。根据CISG,这是由 于卖方违反了合同标的在第61-65和74-77章补 救措施的规定要求的索赔。 由CISG第61章第一条:Bcewood 动议撤销关于 第三、四批货物的索赔,因为即使卖方在货物到 达目的地之前就把货召回了,即便是假设买方违 约,卖方保留了货物的合同价格 FN2CISG第73(2)章提供: 如果一方当事人不履行关于分期付款的义务,对 方当事人就会认为会违反对于今后各批货物的合 同,他会宣告对未来的合同周年革命他在一段合 理时间内如此做。 因此,在第73(2)章中,一个合同的“回避”类似于UCC中的“撤销”。参考§§ 2-106(4); 2 - 612(3)。第76(1)条中关于合同补济中的提 供: 如果这个合同被宣告,并且货物有现价,如果没 有根据第75条规定作出购买或转售,这一方就会 生命损害赔偿可能修复合同订的价格和免除的现 价之间的差异,也会修复第74章红的以后可能产生 损害。 第74条规定违反的损失“由一些损失组成,包括 利益损失” 比较UCC§§2703提供的卖方补救方法和在本质 上累积自然规律。”的东西 我们赞成虽然能想象,受侵害的卖家在这种情况 下也不可能恢复出货3个和4个下的合同订的价 格。但是Becwood解除合同声明的动机确实是不 妥当的: 请求的充分性被关于评判的补救和需求的声明测 试不被认为是为发的一部分判断,向众多案例一 样已被保留。因此,在第八条中对不当救济规则 选择时如果索赔的申诉显示辩护律师可能有权救 济其他的类型,那么对救济的需求将不会给一方 的辩护带来致命的危害。 5Wright&Miller,联邦实务和程序:根据民法在 508-09(3d ed.2004)中3d § 1255;览 Bontkowski 诉Smith,305 F.3d 757,762(7th Cir.2002);Laird 诉Integrated资源有限公司,897 F.2d 826,841-42(5th Cir.1990); Schoonover诉 Schoonover,172 F.2d 526,530(10th Cir.1994). 重新获得的赔偿金的数量是以*1109的校对为依 据,而不是根据原告的诉状。览Fed.R.Civ.P. 54(c)【1】【2】。 根据民事诉讼法中的联邦法规,“一个法院只有 在明确能够证明起诉是与事实相一致的情况下没 有允许的救济时,才可以驳回诉讼。” Swierkiewicz诉Sorema N.A.534 U.S.506, 514,122S. Ct.992, 152 LED.2D 1(2002)(重点强 调;报价省略)。在这个案件中,定西的诉状阐明 了一个违约的索赔:我方履行了合约中运送货物 的义务,买方却决绝为其付款。这个是诉状中没 提到的被记录在案的事实,定西在第三、四批货 物到达买方前就将其撤回是不争的事实。这一事 实可能会使赔偿不能达到最大的合约价格。但是 办公成本定西如果能证明Becwood违反合约中关于第三、 四批货物的约定,定西还是有权获得某些货币方 面的救济。因此,地方法院在允许Becwood不予 理会的要求是错误的。Ruke 12(b)(6) 下达因为三、四批货物的责任颠倒而驳回定西违约索赔的命令。这个案子最终发回重申,以防与观点不一致而进行跟深一层诉讼,其中可能包括追加定西要求这个法院委托地方法院修改允许对 第二批货物即决审判的命令。基于案件现已发回 重申,此提议经大会讨论最终被拒绝。览 关于现 代纺织品有限公司,900 F.2d 84,1193(8th Cir. 1990).
