Discussing Terms of Payment

There are different manners of payment accepted in foreign trade: payment on an open account, which is usually effected against documents and sometimes by installments if agreed between the parties; payment for collection; by a draft which is an order in writting drawn on a bank or another firm to pay at sight, when it is presented or a certain number of days later. The most generally practiced manner of payment is by a Letter of Credit which may also be effected by installments in case of partial deliveries.

Since the terms of payment in a contract are very often a combination of different manners an advance payment can be specified too.

Payment in cash is very infrequent and is practiced in small transactions only.

Here is an example of a transaction discussed between a Russian foreign trade organization and Wright & Co., Ltd., known as very reliable exporters of up-to-date industrial chemicals and chemical laboratory equipment from England.

An exchange of correspondence took place between the parties concerned and was followed by Mr. Smoke’s visit to Moscow.
