Thank you for your time and your professional communication.
As we move forward with this project, I would like to clarify the payment structure approved for this cooperation.
Our client works with high-volume annual purchasing, and for all international shipments the only authorized payment method is the following:
100% T/T after the Original Bill of Lading (OBL) is issued
Or
100% T/T before Telex Release of the cargo
This method is used extensively in global trade for metals, machinery, and high-value commodities. It provides a balanced, secure, and transparent framework that protects both parties.
Why this method is completely safe for the supplier
We want to highlight that under this structure:
You keep full control of the goods until payment is confirmed.
No document, release, or control of cargo is transferred to the buyer until you receive the full payment.
The payment is triggered only after the cargo is physically shipped and the OBL is issued by the carrier.
OBL / Telex Release ensures zero financial exposure for your company.
This is why it is widely accepted across Asia, Middle East, Africa, South America, and Europe in large international shipments.
Additional Guarantees from our Side
To give your company even greater assurance, we provide the following guarantees:
Full Purchase Contract & Proforma Invoice
Signed by both sides before shipment, clearly stating product specifications, packing, quality assurance standards, and delivery obligations.
SGS (or preferred) Inspection at Loading Port
Performed at the seller's cost (as you already offer), confirming quantity, quality, and conformity before payment.
Immediate Payment Upon OBL Issuance
The moment the OBL is released by the carrier, our client initiates the full T/T payment within the same business day.
Long-Term Business Commitment
Our client is not searching for a one-time shipment.
This cooperation will develop into stable and continuous orders, providing repeat volumes that benefit both sides.
Full Transparency & Documentation
All communication, loading photos, container seals, packing lists, invoices, and shipping updates are shared in real time.

We kindly ask you to confirm that your company can support one of the two secure payment options above.
This confirmation is essential for us to move forward, as it is fully aligned with our client's internal compliance and global procurement policy.
We strongly believe that adopting this payment arrangement will establish a mutually beneficial, stable, and long-term partnership between our companies.
We look forward to your positive response.
