# Intelligence: Pet Products Import

## Pain Points

- Regulatory complexity (pet food)

- Shelf life management

- Brand loyalty and switching costs

- Bulk/heavy product shipping

## Solutions (Unicorn Currencies)

- Multi-currency for global sourcing

- Fast EUR for European brands

- Regular payment scheduling

- Container tracking for bulk food

## Payment Profile

- **Timing:** Net 30-45 for established brands. T/T advance for accessories (China). Regular scheduled orders.

- **Settlement priority:** MODERATE: Steady demand, planned ordering. Out-of-stock on popular lines damages customer loyalty.

- **Invoice terms:** Net 30-45 (brands), T/T advance (China accessories), monthly invoicing for regular accounts.

- **FX risk:** LOW-MODERATE: EUR (premium food), USD (American brands), CNY (accessories). Steady demand allows planning.

- **Cash flow:** Steady year-round (pets always eat). Slight Q4 increase (gifting). Subscription models growing. Regular reorder cycles.
