Food & Beverage Import Payment Profile

Understanding the payment dynamics of Food & Beverage Import when paying Denmark suppliers

Payment Timing

Payment on container release (perishables) or Net 30 (shelf-stable). Wine/spirits: Net 60-90 for established suppliers.

Settlement Priority: CRITICAL for perishables: Demurrage costs £150-300/day. Fresh produce spoils. Fast payment = priority unloading at port.

📄 Invoice Terms

CAD (Cash Against Documents) for perishables. Net 30-60 for wine/spirits. LC for large harvest contracts. 50% deposit for seasonal orders.

Cash Flow Pattern:

Highly seasonal: Harvest windows (Southern hemisphere Jan-Apr, Northern Jul-Oct). Christmas peak for alcohol. Easter for lamb.

📊 FX Risk Profile

MODERATE-HIGH: EUR (60% of wine imports), AUD/NZD (seasonal), ZAR (wine/fruit). Harvest timing creates concentrated FX exposure windows.

Supplier Relationships:

Direct estate relationships (wine), cooperatives (olive oil), agents (fresh produce). Harvest allocations require advance commitments.
