Payments
1. FLOW
Ideal situation = just pay for furniture when it arrives in USA (30 days after receiving furniture in my warehouse)
Importer transports goods to warehouse + inspects product for quality, repacks and delivers to customer somewhere in the USA (normal timeframe = 2 - 4 weeks). Importer pays for local truck, warehouse, customs clearance, inspection, insurance and then final delivery to customer.
The final customer is then billed for the balance + trucking ...and is given 30 days to pay final bill (if sold on account, which is very common in the USA).
Importer has cash flow gap of 6-8 weeks between time of making final payment to manufacturer + time importer received final payment from customer.
To pay for this gap - Importer need Cash Flow Financing
