Dear {Name}, On payment terms — I hear you, "70% against B/L copy" is a very common ask, especially on machinery >$100K. Let me walk through what we can and can't do, and why: **Why "70% before shipment" is our default**: Machinery is highly configured to you — it can't be resold to another customer if the deal collapses at shipment stage. Unlike commodities, our downside risk on a machine sitting on the dock is 40–60% of value. **What we can do to move toward your ask**: **Option 1 — LC 100% at sight** (recommended for you) - 100% Irrevocable LC at sight, confirmed by top-tier bank (HSBC, Citi, DB) - No T/T deposit — clean for your cash flow - Documents against payment: B/L, insurance, CO, CI/PL, FAT report - Price +0.8% to cover LC confirmation cost **Option 2 — 30% T/T + 70% LC 60 days** (hybrid) - 30% at PO (secures material + start of build) - 70% via LC 60 days from B/L, so you have 60 days after shipping to inspect + pay - Standard price **Option 3 — Sinosure-backed 30/70 on B/L copy** - 30% T/T deposit - 70% T/T against B/L copy, backed by Sinosure short-term insurance on your entity - Sinosure covers 90% of our risk - Requires 7–10 days for Sinosure approval on {your company} - We absorb the ~0.6% Sinosure fee **Option 4 — Trust building** - First order: 30/70 T/T (our standard) - After 2 clean orders: unlock Option 3 terms automatically - After 5 orders: LC 90 days available Which structure fits your treasury best? Option 1 is the fastest path if you can arrange the LC. Best regards, {Your Name}
