1 Financial Processing

The transparency and efficiency of financial processing directly affect the trust and timeliness of the transaction. ZhongShen International Trade has taken the following measures to ensure the smooth progress of financial processing:

Payment Method: Telegraphic Transfer (T/T)
As a commonly used payment method in international trade, telegraphic transfer is widely applied for its fast speed and high security.

This not only speeds up the transaction process but also reduces the risks that may arise from payment delays.

FOB pricing: Free On Board Shanghai
Under the FOB trade term, the seller is responsible for transporting the goods to the designated loading point in Shanghai and completing the export customs clearance procedures. From the loading point, all costs and risks are transferred to the buyer. This pricing method simplifies the sellers responsibilities and cost calculation, while giving the buyer more control over subsequent transportation arrangements.
