Types of Import Financing
Advance Payment
The importer company sends the cost of the goods to the exporter's account via bank transfer immediately after the contract is established - usually without waiting for the exporter to ship the goods.
Cash against Documents Payment
- This process starts once the exporter ships the goods to the customs in accordance with the agreement between the exporter and the importer.
- The documents representing the goods are first delivered to the remitting bank by the exporter.
- The remitting bank transmits the documents to the importer.
- The documents are delivered to the importer upon payment of the goods' price or acceptance of the policy issued by the exporter. Thus, the importer can collect the goods from customs.
Payment against goods
- In this payment method, firstly, the exporter sends the goods to the importer without collecting any amount for the cost of the goods.
- After the goods arrive in the country and customs clearance procedures are carried out, the importer sends the payment to the order of the exporter by bank transfer in accordance with the maturity date written in the contract.
Letter of Credit
It is the buyer's guarantee to the seller that the price of the goods will be paid through the bank to be determined in the buyer's own country in return for a certain price and maturity and the submission of documents per the specified requirements.
