Payment Methods for Construction Materials Export from Türkiye
For construction materials exported from Türkiye, the two most common payment methods are T/T (telegraphic transfer) and LC at sight. T/T suits established relationships and faster cycles; LC at sight is preferred in MENA and Africa for larger orders. Zerixa accepts both and coordinates documents to match LC requirements.
T/T (Telegraphic Transfer / Bank Transfer)
- Buyer wires payment directly to seller's bank
- Typical structure: 30% advance + 70% before shipment, or 100% against documents
- Faster, lower bank fees than LC
- Best for repeat buyers and orders under established trust
LC at Sight (Letter of Credit)
- Buyer's bank guarantees payment upon compliant document presentation
- Standard in Libya, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, and many African markets
- Documents must match LC terms exactly (invoice, B/L, CO, inspection cert)
- Zerixa prepares export docs to LC specifications
Choosing the right method
- First order + high value → LC at sight often required by buyer's bank
- Repeat order + known partner → T/T with staged payments
- Government / project tenders → usually LC or bank guarantee
- Small urgent orders → T/T advance common
