Trade Terms
Everything you need to know about ordering, paying, and receiving CLEACE products — from incoterms to container loading to payment schedules.
Shipping Terms (Incoterms 2020)
Choose the trade term that best fits your supply chain. We support all major incoterms.
FOB (Nanjing / Shanghai)
Free On Board — we handle everything until goods are loaded onto the vessel at the port of departure. You arrange and pay for ocean freight and insurance.
CIF (Destination Port)
Cost, Insurance & Freight — we arrange and pay for ocean freight and basic insurance to your destination port. You handle import clearance.
DDP (Door-to-Door)
Delivered Duty Paid — we handle everything from factory to your warehouse, including import duties and taxes. Maximum convenience.
EXW (Ex Works) Also Available
For buyers with established China logistics partners, we offer EXW terms — you collect goods from our Nanjing factory. This provides the lowest unit price but requires you to handle all export procedures.
Container Loading Guide
Estimated loading quantities for common product configurations. Actual quantities may vary based on packaging and palletization.
20' GP Container
40' HQ Container
Reefer Container
Temperature-controlled containers for heat-sensitive products. Alcohol-based sanitizers benefit from reefer shipping in hot climates to maintain product integrity.
Payment Terms
Flexible payment options to suit your procurement process.
T/T (Telegraphic Transfer)
Most common payment method. 30% deposit to confirm order and begin production. 70% balance due when goods are ready — we'll send photos/video of completed goods before requesting final payment.
L/C (Letter of Credit)
Bank-guaranteed payment instrument. Especially suitable for large orders or first-time partnerships. L/C terms must be agreed before production begins.
💡 Payment Tips
- • All prices quoted in USD unless otherwise agreed. EUR and CNY also accepted for select transactions.
- • Bank details provided on the Proforma Invoice (PI). Always verify PI details before transferring.
- • Production begins upon deposit confirmation (typically 1–3 business days for T/T).
- • For large or recurring orders, net payment terms may be negotiated after an established relationship.
