Method : Cash in advance or Prepayments
• The most favorable term to the exporter is cash in
advance because it relieves the exporter of all risk
and allows for immediate use of the money.
• It is not widely used, however, except for smaller,
first-time transactions or situations in which the
exporter has reason to doubt the importer’s ability
to pay. Cash in advance terms are also found
when orders are for custom-made products
because the risk to the exporter is beyond that of a
normal transaction.
