PROCEDURES :
1. Buyer provides an ICPO/LOI with soft probe, and BCL (in some cases the BCL is obligatory, some not).
2. The seller issues either an FCO or Draft contract
3. The buyer signs the FCO or Draft contract, as is, or with amendments and returns it (if it is the Draft contract, then it automatically becomes the main contract). If it was the FCO, then the seller confirms is by sending the Draft Contract.
4. The buyer/seller sends the hard copies by DHL or other currier services, if there is a need in having hard copies.
5. The buyer provides the POF (swift MT799), the seller provides POP (it is a bank to bank transaction, no documents are sent via email). Some suppliers provide POP after the buyer opens a non-operative LC, whereas others provide it, only after the LC or BG is fully opened.
6. Forms of payment can be LC (transferable or non-transferable), BG, LC with BG, or we even have a supplier that agrees with partial TT payment. The LC or BG are payable 100% at sight after the SGS inspection. The forms of payment are difficult financial instruments, they sometimes can be negotiated, but most of the times these are very rigid rules and the seller would not accept anything else.
7. If the financial instrument is LC, then it is a non-operative LC which is opened by the seller’s PB of 2%, none of our sellers would give a PB of more than 2%. For BG, the seller does not post PB.
8. The delivery starts as stated in the contract, usually within 25-45 days, depending on the seller.
9. SGS at the loading port, paid by the seller.
