Financing forms the foundation of every successful transaction. However, the high risk involved in international trade can present a challenge when settling on payment terms. BALS Trading understands that customers do not always have the cash on hand to pay for an order up front and that Letters of Credit can be expensive, time consuming and bureaucratic. We examine every case on an individual basis and offer an array of flexible payment options that enable our customers to finance orders while maintaining an acceptable level of risk for all the parties involved. We can offer financing or payment guarantee for the international distributor unable to meet the credit terms of the manufacturer. In all cases, all our manufacturer’s can offer creative terms to fit the needs of all buyers

Clearing Customs in ports of departure and destination is an essential part of every international transaction. Failure to properly prepare for customs requirements can lead to shipment delays for any number of reasons –problems with export documentation, missing certifications, incomplete information on lables, etc. Such delays can in turn lead to penalties and fees, not to mention missed project deadlines. BALS Trading long experience with customs in the countries we serve has equipped us with the expertise to quickly resolve any customs problems resulting in shipment delays and, more importantly, to anticipate and prevent those problems altogether.
