It is a type of payment in which the importer pays the cost of the goods in advance and the exporter agrees to load after receiving the cost of the goods. A discount can be provided to the importer if payment is made in advance. Before the importer accepts this payment method, the importer must have full confidence in the exporter and have no doubt that exporter will send the goods to be traded.
It is a practical and economical way for importers to get their goods from customs after paying the price. After loading, the exporter sends the commercial and financial documents that allow the goods to pass through customs to the importer's bank for delivery in return for the collection fee. The importer's bank does not provide the necessary documents for the actual import of the goods to the importer without paying the cost of the goods.
It is a form of payment that requires the buyer to declare the goods shipped by the seller, seller send these goods together with a representative document and bill of exchange or draft, and to pay the price of the goods on the specified date.

Since the payment will be made after the delivery of the goods, it is a payment method that carries the least risk for the importer and the highest risk for the exporter. This payment method is considered a kind of credit extended by the seller to the buyer, as the cost of the goods has not yet been paid at the time of actual import at the customs.
It is a form of payment where delivery of the documents is allowed upon buyer’s acceptance of the bill of exchange or draft that had been drawn by the seller without payment. To guarantee the cost of the goods, the seller asks the importer's bank to accept the bill of exchange or draft. If importer's bank adds its aval on the draft, importer's bank will have the obligation to pay. By doing this, the bank guarantees payment in the event that the drawee defaults on payment of the bill at maturity. In other words, it guarantees that the bill of exchange or draft will be paid on time because this collateral stands as a loan. In this way, it is possible to withdraw the goods before the maturity date without making a payment.
