Understanding the payment dynamics of Freight Forwarding when paying Israel suppliers

Payment Timing

Payment before cargo release. Port fees due immediately. Agent payments Net 7-14 days. High frequency: 5-20 payments daily.

Settlement Priority: CRITICAL: Cargo held until fees paid. Demurrage £150-300/day. Fast payment = fast release = happy clients.

📄 Invoice Terms

Prepayment for port fees, Net 7-14 for agents, Net 30 for established partners. Credit lines essential for cash flow.

Cash Flow Pattern:

📊 FX Risk Profile

HIGH: Multi-currency exposure (CNY, EUR, USD, AED). 3-8% margins mean 2% FX move eliminates profit. Must hedge or pass through.

Supplier Relationships:

Network of agents worldwide. Long-term relationships essential for reliability. Commission-based structures. Reciprocal arrangements common.
