Electronics Distribution Payment Profile

Understanding the payment dynamics of Electronics Distribution when paying Malaysia suppliers

Payment Timing

T/T advance (30-50% deposit) + balance before shipment. Just-in-time requires fast payment upon invoice.

Settlement Priority: CRITICAL: Product obsolescence risk. Every day of delay = price depreciation. 2.3s settlement protects margins.

📄 Invoice Terms

30-50% T/T deposit, balance before shipment (new suppliers). Net 30 for established relationships. LC rare for electronics.

Cash Flow Pattern:

Continuous ordering with Q4 spike (Black Friday, Christmas). Product launches create demand surges. Component shortages cause payment bunching.

📊 FX Risk Profile

HIGH: CNY exposure on 60% of orders. Fast inventory turn (30-60 days) limits exposure window but high values mean significant absolute risk.

Supplier Relationships:

Shenzhen factories (volume), Taiwan (chips/components), Korea (displays/batteries). Alibaba for discovery, direct relationships for volume.

Common Documentation for Electronics Distribution
