What payment terms do you offer for international trade?
We accept various payment methods including T/T (Telegraphic Transfer), L/C (Letter of Credit) at sight, and D/P (Documents against Payment). For regular clients with established credit, we can discuss more flexible payment terms. All payment methods are designed to protect both parties’ interests.
