Advance Payment The importer pays the cost of the goods in advance and the exporter ships the goods after the cost of the goods has been received or is paid before the goods are withdrawn from the customs. This payment method provides the importer with the highest risk of payment for the importer, but also allows the importer to get a discount by making the advance payment.
Cash Against Goods (Open Account) It is the form of payment that the importer pays the cost of goods to the exporter after the goods are withdrawn from the customs. The importer has the possibility to pay in the long term by paying at the determined price in the sales agreement, as well as having the least risk since the payment is made after receipt of the goods.
Cash Against Documents After the goods have been loaded by the exporter, the exporter's bank is to send the shipping documents representing the goods to the importer's bank by the delivery condition for the collection of the goods. The importer's bank does not deliver to the importer the documents necessary for importers to withdraw goods from customs without fulfilling payment terms.

In the avalized transactions, the documents are delivered to the buyer after avalizing the draft which is prepared by the exporter or the importer itself based on the request of the importer.
