Quoting from [amedabasstrading]:amedabasstrading - no such thin as "secure" method of payment. All methods (open account, pre-payment, consignment, documentary collection and L/C) have unique risk associated with each of them. Specific method of payment is agreed by both parties based on the risk they want to take and including the value of transaction. COD for example, risk can be to the exporter or the importer. I think you should focus in building good relationship with your seller that way you will have less concern on which payment method to use.
I would like to know If in international trade company can accepte the " COD" with at least 10 to 15% up front ?
What's the most secure payment for buyer to pay the Good ?
