I have a customer from india wanting to buy iron-ore on fob basis with t/t payment which I have accepted, the only problem is he is insisting I first load the iron ore on vessel after which sgs certification be taken for quality and quantity and then I will be paid fully by t/t. I have suggested that first a sgs checking be done at the depot and if satisfied then I be paid 30% by t/t mode after which I load the ore on vessel and again a sgs be done and I be paid balance 70% by t/t mode. Can I be cheated if I do as the buyer wants or I should only accept if the buyer agress to my terms. Would be gratefull if any one can guide mr
@mjn,
What does your accountant say? Your company Lawyer?
I know you may find it strange that I'm even asking this, but why TF would you ask a bunch of complete strangers about something that is very specialised, and potentially vital for your company's wellbeing?
@mjn,
A deposit and payment on delivery is pretty standard.

On my desk, I have two LOI (letter of intention) that stipulates that exact procedure. (It's not iron ore, though)
@timur,
Can you actually supply iron ore? Inbox me if you can plz i have a buyer from Canada.
@mjn,
I have a Canadian buyer for iron ore, inbox me if you can supply.
Once its on the boat your options are limited. All details should be in concrete prior to loading.
@mjn,
it is too dangerous for you , do not trust any india guy , If I were you I will ask him to pay full money first than ship to him
