Open Account
The exporter ships the merchandise to the customer (importer) in the foreign country and bills him directly with no additional guarantee of payment. The importer then makes payment on his account in the manner specified on the commercial invoice: sight, 30, 60, 90 days, and so forth. Usually open account terms are granted to an exporter's best customers only.
