<sup>art-63 · https://japanlaw.org/ja/bankruptcy-act/art-63 · https://japanlaw.org/l/416AC0000000075/art-63</sup>

    **第一項**  売主が売買の目的である物品を買主に発送した場合において、買主がまだ代金の全額を弁済せず、かつ、到達地でその物品を受け取らない間に買主について破産手続開始の決定があったときは、売主は、その物品を取り戻すことができる。ただし、破産管財人が代金の全額を支払ってその物品の引渡しを請求することを妨げない。
    <sup>art-63/par-1 · https://japanlaw.org/ja/bankruptcy-act/art-63/par-1 · https://japanlaw.org/l/416AC0000000075/art-63/par-1</sup>
    When the seller has sent the goods that are the subject matter of sale to the buyer, if an order commencing bankruptcy proceedings is made against the buyer while the buyer has not yet paid the price in full and not yet received the goods at the destination, the seller may retrieve the goods; provided, however, that this does not preclude a bankruptcy trustee from requesting the delivery of the goods by paying the price in full.
