How Electronics Distribution Businesses Typically Pay Swedish Suppliers
If you're importing in this sector, you're likely dealing with a mix of payment terms. Here's how they work — and why speed matters.
⏱ Payment Timing
T/T advance (30-50% deposit) + balance before shipment. Just-in-time requires fast payment upon invoice.
📄 Invoice Terms
30-50% T/T deposit, balance before shipment (new suppliers). Net 30 for established relationships. LC rare for electronics.
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.
Shenzhen factories (volume), Taiwan (chips/components), Korea (displays/batteries). Alibaba for discovery, direct relationships for volume.
