International financing

The financing of a foreign trade transaction is similar, in its basic characteristics, to a working capital financing in which the funds are used to finance an export or an import.

Export financing. There are two types:
- Pre-export financing. An advance is granted to the exporter to cover the costs of the manufacturing process of a merchandise destined for export, with a firm order.
- Post-export financing. Once the merchandise has been shipped to the importer with deferred payment, the total or partial amount invoiced is advanced to the exporter.
Import financing. The importer can finance himself during the period of time that elapses between the importation of the merchandise and its subsequent commercialization and collection.
