How to trade safely with foreign partners
Business considerations often require exporters to offer deferred payment terms to importer clients. When that happens, they are faced with two issues: securing payment by the buyer and ensuring that their cash position will not be weakened while awaiting payment.
Importers, on the other hand, need to be sure that payment will only be made if the documents received from the transporter prove that the goods delivered correspond with the agreement made with the seller.
