常用付款方式:
国际贸易中较常见的付款方式有三种:汇款remittance、托收 collection 和信用证Letter of Credit。最为人们接受的是信用证。
1.汇款是进口商(付款方)主动通过银行或其它途径将款项汇交出口商(收款人)。可用于预付货款或货到付款。汇款分:
电汇 T/T (Telegraphic Transfer) ;信汇 M/T (Mail Transfer); 票汇 D/D (Remittance by Banker’s Demand Draft)
2.托收 Collection
支付有时通过银行托收,它是由出口商用出票法向进口商开立汇票,连同货运单据,委托银行向进口商收取票款的结算方式。其术语为“付款交单” (D/P)或“承兑交单”(D/A)。
3.信用证 Letter of Credit
信用证支付对进、出口商的风险都比较小,是国际贸易中使用的最普遍的一种支付工具。
